The problem with Calvin and Hobbes as a disincentive to parenting is that you need to be a parent to understand the parenting struggle and be truly disincent…ed. The blissfully un-child-laden will think such cute things as: “No child of mine…” and “Well, I would never get that frustrated…” and “Awww. But that’s charming!”
Ah, Innocence.

Arwen, I alway took C and H as an excellent How-To manual for parenting; particularly Calvin’s dad, and his habit of cheerfully making up stuff about the universe when he either (a) didn’t know, or (b) felt like it.
Remember this one?
Calvin - How come old photographs are always black and white? Didn’t they have color film back then?
Dad - Sure they did. In fact, those old photographs are in color. It’s just that the world was black and white then. The world didn’t turn color until sometime in the 1930s, and it was pretty grainy color for a while, too.
C. But then why are old paintings in color?! If the world was black and white, wouldn’t artists have painted it that way?
D. Not necessarily. A lot of great artists were insane.
C. But… But how could they have painted in color anyway? Wouldn’t their paints have been shades of gray back then?
D. Of course, but they turned colors like everything else did in the ’30s.
C. So why didn’t old black and white photos turn color too?
D. Because they were color pictures of black and white, remember?
C. How come you know so much?
D. It’s all in the book you get when you become a father.
Ah, yes. THAT book. Goddamn Canada Post. Mine is still in the mail.
When it turned noon, the alert went away.
Happy April Fools Day.

It's a sad state of affairs when Canadian kids are treated like this by the government - read about it here then contact your MP

When reading here you reminded of the words of Buddha: Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.
