Children's Week is upon us! A week in which we brave face a challenge
greater than any undead monstrosity, a task more daunting than saving the world. We must become parents for all those
orphans throughout Azeroth and make sure they are happy. We can't tank a child's fears, we can't heal its memories of
pain, nor can we DPS the sorrow out of them. So equip your toys, make a mage conjure a candy table, fill your quiver
with joy, load your gun with something colorful, and venture into the World of Parenting!
