Go forth boldly, brave minion

He’s a KitKatnapper.

He might get a Payday out of it.

Minion, huh?

In that case, bring him a banana.

If he asks you (in an odd Eastern European accent) to paint yourself yellow, run!

Accomplice is the right word. And underage, so it doesn’t show up on his criminal record.

Bad Earl. Conning the kid.

Maybe Nelson should take the opportunity to grab one for himself!

There’s no need to fear, Roscoe’s on the case.

While he’s at it, maybe Nelson could grab a candy bar for himself too!

Ah, so he begins to take The Road to Perdition. For shame, Earl!

But NOT one of those unsweetened, “baking” bars!!!

Earl is teaching Nelson important life lessons…or maybe not. :D

I’m noticing that Nelson did not have to ask where in the pantry those candy bars are stashed.

Nelson might feel more motivation if you tell him, “And take one for yourself.”

I always get minions and onions confused. Most of the time, the trouble this gets me into is minor.

You think?

You think…how about just going ahead and saying you are…

Next, Earl will be calling Nelson “Igor”.

Henchman

Roscoe is all for a trip to the kitchen.

Enabler.

I like the pillow and Roscoe’s but ;-)

“And keep one for yourself, Nelson!”

If Nelson’s retrieving PAYDAY Peanut Caramel Bars and gives one to Earl’s favorite sidekick, Roscoe, there going to be a nutty buddy on someone’s lawn in the near future!

More like a go-for……….

Nelson is a gopher…go for this go for that…

My grandmother was a dedicated non-compliant diabetic. We were at my Mum’s house and The Old Lady asked/told my daughter to go get some jelly to put on her bread. Tina, bless her, found an ancient jelly jar which was headed for the dishwasher on the kitchen counter and brought it into the dining room, and said – with a straight face! – “This is the only one I saw”.

Roscoe wants a candy bar too.

Well Nelson ….. it could be worse ….. you could be his gopher ……. :)

Nelson might be more enthusiastic of there was one in it for him. Sharing a bite with Earl might have worked when Nelson was two but no more.

Make sure you get a piece of the ACTION.!!!!

While he’s in there, just grab a couple for himself.

Since Earl didn’t tell Nelson to get one of his own, Nelson should eat half of what he grabs for Earl.

Ha! Grandkids have to be useful for something.

But do you know?

This is the first time I’ve seen Roscoe lounging on Earl.

It is good to understand one’s place in the cosmic order.

Why kids eventually leave the Family Business" … like farming.

“Oh, and get one for yourself.”

Since Earl didn’t offer any to Nelson or Roscoe, Nelson should grab one for himself anyway and let Roscoe lick Earl’s candy bar.
