Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 14, 2022

Be careful, Milton, remember the last time you asked that she chased you out of the kitchen with a broomstick.

There are starving children..

Save them for the compost …

Keep them! They’ll make a great addition to the stew tomorrow!

Save them? Are they being threatened?

Do husbands still call their wives, “Mother”?

depends on the size of your appetite and imagination

When we kids were little my parents often called each other “Mommy” and “Daddy” if we were around.

Looking back, it seems weird… but by the time we were teenagers and started saying “Mom” and “Dad,” and for the rest of their lives, they only addressed each other as “Honey” and “Dear.”

They referred to each other, to friends and relatives, by their first names, but I never once heard them use them when speaking to each other.

Oy!

Mom:" Carrots are good for your eyesight. You don’t want to go blind…do you?"

Without asking.. you coulda plead ignorance, now it’s too late and they will be served again.

“If we don’t, who will?”

Good morning Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan.

Save them to make snowman noses.

“You’re right, son. Sit down and finish them now.” :)

Grilled or broiled with a bit of clove? You bet! : )

Funny!

Hi Susan!
