Pediatricians may not be as trustworthy as you believe, according to Toddler. "Pediatricians will try to fill your head with stories about what's best for your child," Toddler writes. "Despite what they say, DO NOT ease up on the milk, and DO NOT introduce a reasonable bedtime. If your pediatrician tells you that your toddler needs to eat something other than bread, run out of the room. On your way out, yell 'YOU DON'T KNOW OUR LIFE!' and try your best to break something."
