People Crushing This Whole Parenting Thing

It takes a special kind of person to be a parent, there is no getting around that. They have to be nurturing and kind and patient, but they also have to have a great sense of humor. It seems like the last one especially is the most important one, at least when it comes to making an immediate, memorable impression.

Will They Think It Is A Game?

This game has many layers. It's fun, sure, for mom and dad, but it is also a game that is going to teach these kids some valuable life skills. At least I'm sure that's what they're telling themselves.

The best part about these is that the parents didn't make the wine, which is never really a gift that anyone wants. No, they just made the labels because they wanted to treat these teachers right.
