Always needed to have ketchup. Then: Child: “I hate ketchup!” Mom: "What do you mean? You put ketchup on everything.’ Child: “I’ve never used ketchup.

I use ketchup all the time.” As the dad, I’m tempted to point out that mom doesn’t need help losing her mind, but as the dad, I also know better than to be involved.
