The reason that parents in fiction always make their kids battle one another in their palace compound, is that it means they don't have to drive them anywhere for sports practice
@rincewind.run“oh we have plenty of time in the weekend, activities are good for the kids, it’s fine”
next thing you know one child has tae kwon do and tee ball and the other has baseball and basketball and they both have swim class and oh no you’ve made a huge mistake
