It’s good that you teach your kids that.
As far as feeding it to the fat man, you’d probably have to wait in line.
I’ll have to wait patiently then! LOL! I remember seeing a man in the 7-11 that was wearing a ball hat with some Division (Vietnam War). My daughter and I said “Thank you for your service to Our Country”. He looked at us, said “what?”.. and we repeated it. He was stunned. I guess this was the first time that someone had thanked him. “Oh, um.. you’re welcome” and then he smiled. A thank you costs us nothing.. to a veteran, I am sure it is priceless. IMHO.
