Being a single parent is hard enough without having to hear these things.

1. “Looks like we’ve got a real Pursuit Of Happyness superfan over here!”

2. “Do your children ever wonder where the second version of you is?”

3. “The fictional book I based on you, The Lonely Guardian Of Montclair, New Jersey, is doing very poorly both critically and commercially.”

4. “In the United States today, there are nearly 13.6 million single parents raising over 21 million children. [40]”

5. “Is your child also a single parent?”

6. “You’re single? Allow me to set you up with my son, the star quarterback with a car.”

7. “Hey, you’re just like Lynndie England!”

8. “Hello. Allow me to explain. I tried to kick your car after seeing only you get out with a child. But I kicked my foot right into your car’s tailpipe, and my foot—yes, this very foot—is now stuck. Stuck right in the tailpipe. Yes, the smoke cannon of the car. I am currently near scream, so can you please call AAA?”
