As a freelancer, I work for myself. But all it takes is trying to make a business call to remind me who my boss truly is. And he wants string cheese. Bad. So this parenting analogy has been created with the help of the old SAT. Because, today, I felt tested.

And in the spirit of the SAT, I whipped out my #2 pencil and created some more analogies you might be able to relate to. (But don’t get me wrong. I’d much rather be a parent than a junior in high school.)

Toy : Music :: Crack of Dawn : Jackhammer

Newborn : Sleep :: Miner : Oil

Television : Fingers :: Metal : Magnet

Kid : Candy Store :: Kid : Candy Store

“But why?” : “But why?” :: “Wine?” : “Yes.”
