“granola frut bars” oh the horror of it all!

Someone take her out now!!!

Well, I find granola fruit bars rather tasty.

I wonder what she’ll do when actual reads the comic he’s drawing.

@ lmanartisthoney - Do you mean that in your area poem actually does rhyme with tome? It certainly doesn’t here in Texas. Not criticizing, please. I just like to study language. In some dialects poem really is pronounced “pome” but where I live it is almost 2 syllables - “po-em.”

Oh no, actual books!?!? The horror of it all.

Actually, this has been my favorite gift both to receive and to appropriately give.

Likewise, SeS1066 (and even when I was 10!)

I’ll take the tomes and old books of old poems, please. I may even want the fruity granola stuff, if it doesn’t involve raisins.

Yes SeS1066, actual books. Just think, no Kindle or smart phone apps needed in order to enjoy. Nothing that will be obsolete or required to be repurchased in six months.

(I’m not a technophobe. Just putting my tongue in my cheek).

OH THE HUMANITY she is being a good mother. giving gifts of love

To kids, it’s bad when you don’t get what you want. Kids want toys and video games, not practical items.

greed

From A Christmas Story: Ralphie as Adult: [narrating about diving with his brother into the gifts under the Christmas tree] We plunged into the cornucopia quivering with desire and the ecstasy of unbridled avarice. Mr. Parker: Didn’t I get a tie this year?

None of that for the Foxtrot kids this year.

Davidf42, “poem” is not almost two syllables in Texas, it IS two syllables. Then again, “you all” is just one syllable down here. (… though “here” is NEARLY two syllables, come to think of it…)

just to point out… Some “healthy foods” are even unhealthier than eating 50 Kit Kat bars in 5 seconds.

Oooo, granola fruit bars. SPOOKY!!!!

That’s enough granola to live for a year! I would rather starve.GRANOLA IS SPOOOKY!!!!!!!
