SNIPPET OF THE DAY – AT 6:36 P.M. ET:

From Fox:  The words “mother” and “father” will be removed from U.S. passport applications and replaced with gender neutral terminology, the State Department says.  “The words in the old form were ‘mother’ and ‘father,’” said Brenda Sprague, deputy assistant Secretary of State for Passport Services. "They are now ‘parent one’ and ‘parent two.’"

I called one of my daughters and said, "This is parent two."  She hung up and called the police.
