Why the Name?

Do you ever have one of those moments that makes you say to yourself, "This must be a joke!"?

I know that many times when I am in the throes of a parenting crisis, I feel like the events I am experiencing are too ridiculous to be true. I feel like my life ought to be the exaggerated script for a comedy sitcom about family life. And if I'm living in a comedy sitcom, the only question left in my mind is "Where is the canned laughter sounds?" or in other words:
"Where is the laugh track?"
