And kangaroos, wallabies, koala bears and Kylie Minogue.  Oh, and rains of dead, overheated bats every Christmas, right?  And pornography-obsessed architects.  And the Devil's Marbles.

Okay, the rational explanation that pops into my head is that Mummy thinks Daddy is off at Club X, and wants to use Child as her guilt-bludgeon on him.  You gotta think that hearing "Daddy?  Can you come home now?" while you're watching some smokin' girl-on-girl is worth a Self check.  At least, that's what Mom probably thinks, right up to the point that she gets HER Self check for making her wee bairn call Satan's Discount Sin Warehouse -- One Size Fits All!  Not to mention some kind of Helplessness or Isolation check for Jr. after he realizes Mom thinks Jim Beam is handsomer than Dad and has locked herself in the bedroom to cry.

As for the occult explanation?  The mind boggles.
