Adult Children by Stephen Beals for April 15, 2021

She must have just gotten home from work.

Silly boy! Crunchy frog is for dessert!

A few minutes of lap Claremont will bring her back to normal.

As I age, my tastes seem to change frequently. I find myself it this situation all the time.Add to that the rising prices on eatable protein…

Just say ‘guess what’s for dinner’ and tell her she’s right no matter what her first guess is.

I heard someone say “I should be the leading expert on knowing what I want. Why I am so bad at knowing what I want?”

In every discourse ever with my wife when choosing a meal, “What would you like? I don’t care you pick! How about Chinese? I don’t feel like Chinese. What would you like then? I don’t care, you pick.”,..ad infinitum. So I just get in car and drive to whichever restaurant I like.

Instead of the Crunchy Frog perhaps the Spring Surprise?

“the finest baby frogs, dew picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent Swiss quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope and lovingly frosted with glucose.”
