Comment on Survival Of The Stupidestparent

I am, by definition, stupid because I caused a loss for another person and derived no gain.

How did you cause a loss for your daughter, unless you took a sandwich out of her hand and replaced it with an umbrella, leaving her to go hungry?

I considered the burden of carrying the umbrella as the cost (loss).

But it's not terribly cumbersome, right? Even if it is, it builds coordination and muscle strength to carry it around, so it's a net gain. I dunno, I just don't think it fits the requirements of this definition of stupid. :-)
