My Children? They will be getting coal.
The girl informed me that I have crows’ feet. “You really oughta DO something about that,” she said.
The boy said, ”If you were more politically inclined, I wouldn’t have had to learn all this stuff for AP Government.”
So what do you think, regular old charcoal briquettes or some organic Whole Foods charcoal?

My children ARE getting coal: the chocolate kind from World Market. It’s always on the top of their stockings and always makes them pause for a moment, even though this gag has been going on for years.
And you do not have crow’s feet.

I’d say plain old Kingsford briquets. Special Whole Foods coal for kids who call out your crow’s feet? No way.

Oh, the things children say!
I vote for the organic coal as well

Coal is too good for them. I say plain old backyard dirt - with a few decomposing leaves and sticks in there for good measure.

LOLOLOLOL! Okay, this made my day. Thanks for making me howl with laughter. But what exactly is “organic” charcoal? lololol! (I’d leave ‘um the cheapest, dirtiest, coaliest chunks of coal I could find, why waste valuable grilling material like Kingsford?)
