[21twelve]

My kids were carrying on at the dinner table and my wife, after a long day alone with them said something like “If I have to listen to one more minute of this my head is going to explode!”

My one daughter, about 9 at the time, said “Oh - dinner AND a show.”

Mom was uncontrollable in her laughter. (Whew!)

So was I when I saw that comment---you owe me a monitor! ;)

My maternal grandfather had a classic if us grandkids got a little on the wild side. He'd put two dimes in our hands (this was the 1960s when that was about the price still) and said, "Here, take these. Go to the kosher butcher, buy yourself two pounds of brains, and put them in your head."
