And if you’re a single dad with girls keep remembering that all women cry as a ploy to get what they want and if you’re a single mom with sons remember that all men are charming till they get what they want. If you don’t believe me, just think back to those people you used to be married to and what went on before the divorce and then realize that your kids learn most of their behavior at home.

Now go out there and fight the good fight and see if you can’t learn how to save some of that money your own damned self. After all, you do deserve at least one new pair of socks a year just for putting up with your kids foolishness.
