"As the parent takes his child to school
And the parent takes her lunch bucket to work"
Daddy is a house-husband. Mommy is a career woman. Subtle, it ain't. Maybe, to
further subvert stereotypes, she's taking her KFC to one of those iron girders
in the sky where she skips along like a nimble goat working the shift with
those brethren Amerindians with a head for heights. They aren't working for
some evil capitalist conglomerate or on a site paying mafia kickbacks either.
