More Parenting Definitions

Last time around, a commenter observed that I seem to be coming up with sniglets here, which I'm sure he meant as an insult, but which I have decided to treat as a compliment.

Baguette Skins – the crusty shell of a baguette that your kids leave for you to eat after pulling out and eating the soft fluffy bread center.

Drive-Thru Swap – After driving-thru at Wendy’s or McDonalds on one day to grab a meal for your kids, when you intentionally drive your spouse’s car through the drive-thru the following day so that the fast food employees do not recognize that you’re feeding your kids fast food every day.

Handshake Drugs – A style of paying a babysitter employed by most parents, where the money is palmed and handed over to the babysitter in the most discreet way possible (Why? Are we worried that our kids secretly think that the babysitter has a platonic crush on them, and that’s why she comes over?)

Sandwich Birth Order – When you have three or more children, with only the youngest and oldest of the same gender, like Girl Boy Boy Boy Girl.

Can a reference to an 80's HBO show ever really be an insult?

My variation to the Drive-Thru Swap is to go to BK before shaving the next day. I'm sure this works.
