Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for September 16, 2015

Yikes! Except for the leather and tattoo (she did have frizzy hair), that sounds like my mother:. “It’s food on our table. You’ll stay at the table until you eat it. This isn’t a restaurant. There’s plenty of starving children in China who would love to have this food.”

My brother once made the mistake to say, “So send it to them.”.A baaaaad mistake, and at that point my father and his leather belt got involved.

CATS! He wasn’t eating the Friskies dry anymore so I got bag of some expensive tuna dry food. He wouldn’t eat that so I went back to Friskies and it is eating it again.

Peekaboo really has her face planted in that food-no messing around here.

Have to give Vicki this one.

how i got fat as a public service

my mother said clean your plate, cause children are starving in europe. so i cleaned my plate—3 4 6 times a day. but she was wrong. they kept starving. and i got fat. so if you are skinny or are in other ways normal-and you pass a fat person on the street—do not scoff at that fat person. take off you hat and say hail to thee fat person! you kept us out of war! —allen sherman (imagine patriotic music gradually getting louder and crescendoing)

abby… Wasn’t Alan Sherman terrific! I loved his pun filled versions of songs!
