"Will you make me a bread an' budder san'wich, Charlie Brown? Please?" He looks at her.<BR><BR> "If it isn't one thing, it's another.." Charlie Brown sighs as he walks off.<BR><BR> "I suppose the butter will be as hard as a rock.."

I'll never be able to cut this!!" he groans as he stands on a chair and leans over the table. He struggles with the knife.<BR><BR> "All I get is lumps! RATS!"
