/ Are you a parent?  Do you sometimes find yourself unsure as to what to  \
| say in those awkward situations?  Worry no more...                      |
|                                                                         |
|         When are you going to grow up?                                  |
|         I'm only doing this for your own good.                          |
|         Why are you crying?  Stop crying, or I'll give you something to |
|                 cry about.                                              |
|         What's wrong with you?                                          |
|         Someday you'll thank me for this.                               |
|         You'd lose your head if it weren't attached.                    |
|         Don't you have any sense at all?                                |
|         If you keep sucking your thumb, it'll fall off.                 |
|         Why?  Because I said so.                                        |
\         I hope you have a kid just like yourself.                       /

According to the Fact Sphere: "During the Great Depression, the Tennessee Valley Authority outlawed pet rabbits, forcing many to hot glue-gun long ears onto their pet mice."
