A fight or flight situation. Like when you go to pick up your kid and the teacher's walking towards you with "the look" on her face.

Fun prank: tell your kid World War II ended by the Americans dropping an F-bomb on Japan. Then later when his teacher calls, act shocked.

Remember when you were a kid and the teacher said you can be anything you want to be? Luckily I chose lower middle class and overweight.

Me: Hello Teacher: Hello M: How's my kid doing in school? T: How's my kid doing in school? I hate parrot teacher conferences
