“The perfect child for an existentialist would be potty trained, addicted to cigarettes and able to discuss the finer points of phenomenological ontology.”

Hence, I have no children! Mostly, because I myself have a hard time discussing the finer points, hell, even the most basic points, of phenomenological ontology (existentialism). I enjoy it, regardless. I love Cox’s wit!
