Yes, yes, Terrell Owens and the people who love to talk about him bore the living shit out of us, but you know, sometimes kids really do say the darnedest things.

My mom told me that the Eagles gave you over 9 million dollars last year and that you can afford to buy your own food.† I told her that you were crying and maybe you had spent it all already.† She told me you were going to get 3 million more dollars this year.† I asked her how much a hot dog costs.† Thatís my favorite food!† She told me they were 25 cents unless you buy them from the Eagles in which case they cost 5 dollars.† I asked if she thought you could afford to buy enough hot dogs to feed your family and she said ìOh yeahî, but not in a normal way, she said ìOh yeahî in the way she says it when I ask her if I have to go to school or take a bath.† I hate†baths!† I asked her how many hot dogs you could buy and she told me to figure it out myself.† I had to get my calculator to do it and the answer was 12 million hot dogs!† Thatís a lot of hot dogs!† But then I was thinking maybe you buy your hot dogs from the Eagles in which case they cost 5 dollars.††So then I was thinking maybe you had more than 12 million people in your family.† Do you?† We have 4.† 5 if you count my turtle. His name is Donovan McTurtle.

Seriously, this is even better than Everybody Poops.
