Twitchy favorite Jesse Kelly had a little trouble with his pizza delivery from a local franchise of Marcos Pizza on Sunday but his thread on what went wrong quickly turned into a lesson on parenting:

One hour for delivery? We’re suspect already:
Around 6 I called to order some pizzas for me and my sons (the wife already had some lettuce or something). Guy tells me it will be an hour. I say no big deal. Everything cool. Watching the game anyway. pic.twitter.com/nwZ6fI1iOk

Things have started to go wrong:
7:30 rolls around and I start to get a bit hungry and a bit worried. I decide to make THAT phone call. You know, the call to check on your pizza that might result in your pizza getting spit in. pic.twitter.com/ZozLazx4kd

And things have gone from bad to worse:
So I call. No answer. Strange. I just figure they’re busy. I wait another 15. I call again. No answer.
Now, I’m getting angry. pic.twitter.com/ufInp4Jxoo

Jesse’s wife to the rescue:
The wife can see I’m about to blow and she decides she’s gonna drive down there and see what’s up. I tell her forget it, but she’s insisting. Bad drivers and illogical as they are, a woman’s intuition is rarely wrong. So she does… pic.twitter.com/9HX7yMbhLT

And LOL:
She walks in Marcos and there’s nobody in there. No one. So she walks out back and finds three employees smoking cigarettes. The phones are all ringing. pic.twitter.com/8IEbFl0eCV

Keep in mind it’s Sunday. The Texans and Astros are both playing. The guy who owns this franchise is going to make $$$$ today. And he left his business in the hands of teenagers:
She asks what they’re doing. On my life the guy says, “Yeah, we’re closed. It was just too stressful and some people quit.”
Phones are still ringing btw. pic.twitter.com/j6DREAixNj

And here comes the parenting lesson:
You read that right. A FREAKING PIZZA EMPLOYEE thought making and delivering pizzas was “too stressful”. Some quit, others just decided to go out back and smoke. No phone calls. No nothing. pic.twitter.com/HtIA3tdp0M

Ladies and gentlemen, this isn’t about @MarcosPizza and the lazy, worthless, weak morons they hire. This is about YOU. If you’re a parent and you think your kid would consider calling you to tell you they quit making pizzas cause it was “too stressful”, you’re a failure.

Raise your kids to exist in a tough world. That’s your job. Not to make sure little Timmy never bumps his head in the tub.
Raise tough kids. America’s future depends on it.
That’s all.

100% this.
Oh, and as for dinner? Jesse’s wife came through:
MY GOD. Did the wife bring home an alternative dinner?
— LB (@beyondreasdoubt) October 14, 2019
Of course. She’s a wife.
