"Life isn't fair."
{This is the standard retort to the child's complaint: "NO Fair!" Most dad's will leave it at that simple, three-word reply, but, on occassion, the provoked dad will unleash a litany of woe at the unsuspecting child, such as:}
"Fair? You think male pattern baldness is fair? Or how about tht rusty heap I take to work every day? Is it fair I should still have to drive that thing while Thompson down the street gets a new SUV? Is it fair old man Simpson gave my promotion to suck-up Wagstaff, even though I have seven years' more senority? Is it fair that your mother gets to watch the Home and Garden channel whenever she wants, even during Monday Night Football? Is that fair? Huh?"
(When this happens, kids would be well advised to quietly sneak out of the room. A rant like this could go on for days.)
