If Only It Was The End...
Around the country this morning, I imagine this exchange is taking place...
CHILD: Mommy - Mommy - why is Charlie Brown's head exploding??? What's going on? Is he okay?
MOTHER: What are you reading? (takes the comics section) Oh, don't read this garbage honey.
CHILD: Is Charlie Brown dead?
MOTHER: Charlie Brown is fine. You know your Uncle Steve? And how he's always saying stupid things to upset you, like that John McCain is a maverick and Sarah Palin is a good choice for Vice President?
CHILD: Uncle Steve smells like beer.
MOTHER: Yup. Well Uncle Steve likes this comic strip. He would think it's funny that something bad happened to Charlie Brown.
CHILD: Why?
MOTHER: Because he's a jerk, honey.
CHILD: Ohhhh. So Charlie Brown is okay?
MOTHER: Yes dear.
CHILD: Good. I don't like Uncle Steve or Prickly City, Mommy.
MOTHER: I know hun - nobody does.
