I love it. I simply love it. :lol:

I have an example here, unfortunately it's not about parenting, it's from the driving test in Thailand:

"If an elephant and a tank are both coming your way, which do you yield to?"

Something ridiculous like that.

If anyone is interested, the answer to the Thai driving test question is the tank. Don't ask me why.

Well, that was probably the most obvious part of it. Tanks are typically driven around by the military, and if the army is driving one around on the road, they likely have a good reason to do so. Same logic as to why you yield to police cars.

Personally, I'd yield to the elephant.

If you don't yield to the tank, you would assume the driver of the tank would see you and not wish to crush you.

Whereas an elephant is a wild animal and therefore less predictable.

At first I thought "tank" but then I remembered that elephants are awesome and maybe lead us to Caracasus.

Although I feel like I just posted this, I don't particularly plan on keeping this one up for a long time. Probably a few more days until I submit -- I just need to settle on a title!

The ones you find walking down the street probably aren't.

Oh, and I just found there's this...

Probably keep this up until November rolls around, then I will submit it.

Thanks to everyone who helped draft this -- just submitted it.

I kept the title as "Poor Parental Performances". Hopefully that's not a dealbreaker, and if an editor picks it up, I would not be opposed to a name change.
