And, if I were a parent reading this to my kids, I would be a little angry at the way it ends. I guess I just can't decide who Smith thinks his audience is. Adults and older kids would get the humor, but younger kids wouldn't get it and it isn't even appropriate in many settings. Sorry....I will get off my soapbox now! :)Tina's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313626164494986783noreply@blogger.com
