If I ever meet Mr. Pilkey, I will have some words for him, and none of them will be “thank you.” I will tell him that I, a once-respectable parent, now know more about anthropomorphic toilet villains than I ever wanted.

I’ve had it. It was bad enough when we all had to memorize 3,000 passwords, endure pop quizzes about the name of our first pet, and prove we weren’t robots by identifying blurry fire hydrants. But now, thanks to two-factor authentication, ordering lunch has turned into an episode of CSI: Cybersecurity.
