A multi-panel SMBC comic. In the first panel a red-haired woman declares she is not going to eat her vegetables, and a man warns she will be sprayed with things devised by polymeric foam; she replies 'What?' In the next panel she is engulfed in a green cloud of foam. The man then says that from now on he'll do the things she says without warning, and she responds that she won't divorce him for this and that it is not a stupid idea at all. They stand together as one says 'Thank you, wife.' A final dark panel shows a man lying down dreaming, captioned about what dads dream about, with the answer 'Boring stuff.' The votey is a single hand-lettered panel reading: 'Ten internet points to anyone who designs, assembles, and sends me one of these. Preferably not super toxic, but I can wiggle on that.'
