I think about the parents running around and going to random libraries and board of education meetings in towns they don’t live in… there’s no way they are actually parenting their own kids well, right?

“Sorry honey, I can’t put you to bed again tonight. I have to drive three counties over to protest a book.”

The mental gymnastics to justify this must be wild. "But I'm doing this to benefit you!" while their kid is wondering why mom is so wound up over nothing.
