Moms with endless supplies of high-waisted khaki shorts and dads who look like Dr. Pendanski. You’ll find them at Myrtle Beach or Disney World, Yellowstone or Mount Rushmore. You’ll see them at a roadside Denny’s impatiently waiting for their kids to finish their third bathroom break in the last two hours or collapsed beside the pool at the Holiday Inn Express.
