Faced with important decisions about how to raise their kids, many parents ask their friends or family how they did it, or they turn to parenting books, or they simply rely on age-old religious or cultural traditions.

Parentology hilariously reports the upshot of those experiments, in the process telling the tale of a scientist who is shown the limits of his profession by his sassy kids.
