A DUTIFUL SON

My son recently bought me an Amazon gift certificate for $100. Remembering what I used to say to my kids, the gift certificate stated:

"To: Dad
From: Books are your friends!
Thanks so much for all your help with Charlie. He's getting lots of walks and even more tablefood from Geno."

Today I redeemed my gift certificate. Here is what I ordered from Amazon:

No problem, Dad. You've earned your allowance and you should spend it as you see fit.
