“My mother’s menu consisted of two choices:  take it or leave it.”   —   Buddy Hackett

(Most of today’s mother’s would be aghast and dismayed by this quip/truism!  Far too many will bend over backwards, making their “little darling” a special, individual meal.  I remember a number of occasions where I was told to: “Sit there until you eat it.”  Or, I could go to my room without.  There used to be very little mollycoddling.  Take it or leave it was the order of the day.  No one said you had to like it, but you either choked it down, or you went hungry for a night.  No kid ever starved to death with this method.  “Remember all the starving children in China/India!”  I always offered to send my calves liver to them!  That never worked.  Oh, well.  We welcome Buddy Hackett to the Cryptoquote Club today!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
