Son Inherits Attitudes About Body Image from Father’s Treatment of Wife
Like Father, Like Son
Scene: The Wife is at home with the kids. Boy Wonder (7) is watching Cyberchase – the live action sketch at the end. The sketch includes a very large pig.
The Wife: Whoa, look at the size of that pig! It’s almost as big as the girl! Have you ever seen such a big pig?!
Boy Wonder: It’s probably a mother
The Wife: Why do you say that? (Assuming he thinks the pig is preggers)
Boy Wonder: Moms are always bigger than dads, right?
The Wife: (Calgon… take me away!)
[Update: The Donkey didn't understand my pop culture reference to Calgon. What about you?]

I remember Calgon…. but before you let it take you away you’d better sing “I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, and never, ever let you forget you’re a man. I don’t even know if they make Calgon or Enjoli anymore.

I use the Calgon reference all the time….maybe because I am married to a donkey too.
