I never let my daughter get started.

I never let my daughter [insert any action here].

You could make a religion out of this.

Edit: This is a reference to a joke.

That’s a a bit of an unfair characterization.

Never letting your child be indoctrinated or abused or harmed isn’t a bad thing at all.

Reference to "History of the World, I guess."

It has a running theme of religions forming, then during all the beheadings in France it says "You can make a religion out of this" followed quickly by someone retorting "No, don't."

That's a bit of a shit take. I also never let my daughter get behind the wheel of a car, smoke marijuana, or do meth.

You start by thanking god for supper and end up losing the right of your vagina.
