We’re currently at my in-laws for the weekend, and a short time ago Grandma gave The Littlest Briston her first box of animal crackers. She’s been happily pulling them out, exclaiming what kind of animal she’s found, and then devouring it. A few minutes ago she came over to me, handed me a cracker, and said “Here Daddy…this for you”. “Oh, thank you sweetheart” I replied. Then I looked at what kind of animal she gave me. :dubious: Little brat…which one of you put her up to this? ---

I’m feeling awfully sheepish, since it took me several seconds to figure out which animal she gave you. ---

There’s a joke/pun somewhere in here about March “in like a lamb”, but I’m not quite finding it. ---

I’ll join you in that class, **Annie** , because my thinking was: 1 - oh how funny, OP will feel silly on noticing omission of link 2 - but _other_ people seem to understand 3 - are my new spectacles not all that good? 4 - where is missing link? 5 - Ah! Light dawns. Penny drops. 6 - thumps self on head. I had been thinking of doing something extremely clever like, perhaps, learning to tie my shoelaces, but I now feel I may have to put that off for a while. :smack: Feeling sheepish now. ---

Get the flock outta here, you serious? 😃 Oh only in the SDMB could we spin such yarns. I see even more looming over the horizon… ---

Maybe the Littlest Briston could take the money to a computer shop to get a RAM upgrade. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/gee-daughter-thanks-for-sharing/441562.md?page=2)
