... and after sharing a big bowl of tofu, Jack and The Giant lived happily ever after.

The End.

Ruining the grandparent experience ...... indoctrination 24/7. Don't they get enough of this food stuff at school via The Mooch & her program(s)... you know, the ones where the kids are always hungry and are throwing most of the food in the trash?

“Discuss likes and dislikes of different foods and talk about what they eat at school or at home,” the agency said. “Involve grandkids in selecting and preparing foods for meals, and offer the same foods to everyone. Avoid making different dishes to please young, fussy eaters.”

I like that: ‘Government bedside stories’. No Bible beside stories ever but how to be gay or lesbian very early.

This just part of today's kinder, gentler communism. Of course the camps and executions will come later.

A few years ago I bought my grandsons “Hey, Mom There’s a Liberal Under My Bed”. Do you think that would be approved reading?

Even as an adult, seasoned as I am, government bedtime stories give me nightmares and government hugs cause me to sweat profusely.

I can’t wait till these idiots leave on Marine One with that final goodbye wave. It’s going to be a hard fall back to reality for these fools.

Once upon a time there was a small government but it wanted to get big so it ate and ate and ate and soon it was very big. Then all the grand parents and all the parents and all the little boys and girls took away all its food and would chase it away from their doors when it came looking for food until it was a small government again. And they lived happily ever after.

government stories...gotta love ‘em.

So instead of baking cookies with my granddaughter, we should make a salad? I don’t think so.

Can’t these idiots just mind their own damn business???
