Transcript:
Calvin: Help me push the car out of the garage. I can't budge it by myself. Hobbes: I still think you should ask your mom to move it. Calvin: Then she'd probably say no, and we won't have the garage for our clubhouse! Hobbes: But if we don't ask her, we'll get in trouble. Calvin: We won't get in trouble! Hobbes: Every time you say that, we do. Calvin: Mom wouldn't care about these things if she wouldn't keep finding out about them.

Calvin’s perspective on parenting is interesting. He knows that his mom always says no to whatever he asks her to do, so he never asks her to begin with. That perfectly describes the mentality children have :D
