Marcus: My dad read her a magazine article about how parents today have fallen victim to the cult of the child. Marcus: About how they've fetishized their kids and worship the as miniature deities. Marcus: Mom glued the article into a scrapbook. I feel like I'm being stalked by a deranged fan. Alice: And yet no one will push me on this stupid thing.
