WordPress + Child Theme = Am I missing something?

Actually @Pieter Goosen took care of the issue when he corrected the Codex and removed the call to the extra style sheet. So in fact this works the way it should

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
 function theme_enqueue_styles() {
   wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}

Thanks Pieter.
