There is a great Carlin skit on helicopter parenting and what he calls "child worship." In it, he talks about kids having to pass kindergarten entrance exams. "The poor little f*$#!" And how play, something that should be careless and free, is now regimented with playdates. "When does a kid just get to play with a stick anymore. Just sit in the yard and play with a f-ing stick!?!?!!"
