A cat in the microwave is nothing to it. And let me add an addendum to the things my children were never allowed to do\u200b\u2014\u200bput a cat in the microwave. I\u2019m not saying it didn\u2019t happen; I\u2019m just saying they weren\u2019t allowed to do it.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you are a parent and feeling you&#8217;ll never measure up to Amy Chua&#8217;s Tiger Mom, just read O&#8217;Rourke and you&#8217;ll feel better.
