A few days ago my daughter called me at work. I could hear the panic in her voice as she said "Dad, it's not my fault!".

There are *many* things that run through a parent's mind in this situation. None of them are pleasant.

I tried to hide the panic *I* was feeling. "What happened?" I asked her. She said "Well, it's about Stewie!"
