  I’m so glad I don’t have kids. If I walked into a day care and saw that every solid object had a fucking screen on it, I’d burn the place down.

    That’s a waiting room, not a day care.

  Before that there was STFU and sit still. Sadly, this was the era in which I was raised.

      Hey those were cool. Except for Goofus and Gallant. That Gallant was such a smug little prick.

    I remember if they had something like this you had won the lottery as far as waiting rooms went.
