I'll Have The Misogyny Au Gratin, Please
by Steve West on April 15, 2008
We were having dinner with my nephew the other night and the conversation steered toward his numerous relationships.

My wife looked at him directly and retorted, "Yeah, why buy the whole pig for just a little sausage?"
My nephew stammered, "Exactly! I agree. Wait a minute..."
That's my girl.

Recent conversation with Brenda: me: (watching baseball) Do you realize how filthy professional baseball players are? Brenda: Not first-hand, no. me: Look at these guys. Go »Thanksgiving Memories
This year, as I stood with my nephew staring at the turkey carcass following its carving, I shared with him an anecdote about Thanksgiving when I was his age.
