Mom: See what Alice picked for me? Dad: Wow. Is it a flower? Mom: I think so. It's got a thing on top that smells. Dad: Huh! Where did you find it, Alice? Alice: In our backyard! Dad: Really? Petey: Hey, everyone knows our yard can't sustain life.

“It’s got a thing on top that smells.” Great line. Usually the best lines are reserved for the kids, but it’s nice to see Mrs. Otterloop getting a good one every now and then.
