Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 13, 2016
Transcript:
Mom: No, you're not getting a catsup fountain for Christmas! Alice: Why not? Mom: Because, 1. There's no such thing. 2. if there is, it's disgusting. 3. you've already got a perfectly good big ugly fountain. 4. you don't even like catsup! Beni: That was your chance to ask for a volcano! It would've seemed so sensible by comparison! Alice: But a catsup fountain would be so perfect for sharing time!

I don’t like catsup either. And don’t get me started on ketchup.

Beni has the right idea. Start YUGE and work your way down to something reasonable.

If you’re gonna ask for a volcano, Alice, ask for Eyjafjallajökull—it’s the best!

Yes, Alice, you already have a big, ugly fountain – just pour catsup in it.

It’s all a part of the Big Conspiracy called Growing Up, Alice. None of us ever got the “catsup fountain” we wanted.
That’s why we’re such a sorry lot. Keep on being Alice!
