What a considerate child!

Don’t give Earl any Idea’s, Nelson.

Look out, Nelson, that watering can might slip.

Ah, the innocent thoughts of a child. Even if he doesn’t make it to 10 yrs old!!

When Opal insults someone, it’s ok. When someone else insults her, it’s not a very nice thing to say. Go figure.

That’s very funny!

I don’t care if people say I’m overweight or fat since I am. But Nelson should be taught not to say things like that since they do hurt people’s feelings.

Why ABSOLUTELY, Nelson. After all, at 6 years of age you should have all the sense of caring about other people’s feelings as though you were SOMEONE TWICE YOUR AGE. What on earth is the matter with you? Isn’t it about time for you to grow up?

HEY, maybe the poor little kid was trying to be complimentary!

It was a compliment. When I was that age I told our housekeeper, after eating at an upscale hotel, that I had apple pie and it was even worse than hers. She knew I wasn’t crazy about apple pie and that it was intended as a compliment.

Hey Annie Smith, that was FANTASTIC!!!
