I think it's okay to not find it funny.

I've also known good parents and bad, and probably all of them have days when they're tired and just wishes to have 5 minutes of peace without the constant barrage of questions, many of which have been asked and answered a few times that day.

One of the formulas of a good joke is to take something mundane and turning it up to 11. Hence this post and us parents, good or bad, having a laugh at it; probably for different reasons.

Also I was told my mum felt like Yoda here, when 5 year old me started getting philosophical and asking existential questions..

    It had some media attention, the blog mentioned Channel 7. But being the shit sensationalist channel that they are, of course the focus is on generating outrage.

    They could've used it to generate outrage on the callous way the government is treating valuable and historically significant collections.. But noo. Too much work. Let's focus on some ugly rust instead.
