That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for January 09, 2020

Little Heinrich was again the last one to make it to the supper table and had to settle for what was leftover.

Geez, that took me longer to figure out than I’d like to admit. Og Isstane = August Heyn.

Little Noah, upset that the job interview went bad. Now that he can’t pay his way he’ll have to move out.

“Oy, twelve more years I have to put up with this bunch of morons?”

“Can we get a dog? Miss Inphormd doesn’t believe our pet rabbit ate my homework.”

♫ Ach, du lieber August Heyn, August Heyn, August Heyn! ♫

The good news is that the boy doesn’t have ED, …

I can’t go to school today mommy, I’ve got a terrible hangover. I think I caught it from daddy.

You made rabbit stew with my favorite bunny!! Waa!

No, I don’t want a lucky rabbit’s foot! It wasn’t lucky for him, was it! Waa!

young johnny carson practicing his carnac the magnificent routine…

It wasn’t a dream, he was really a member of this family as he puts his hand to his head in horror.

Doing the family business taxes,often brought on Timmy’s migraines.

“I pee’d my pants.”

No, Johnny, you can’t stay home from school – mommy has a day care to run, so there is no space for you.

I see the parents are practicing Catholics.

“I got fired today. Jimmy will you get off the table! Screw this I’ll be at Kelly’s Bar”

“Why? Why is it always me who’s supposed to bring home the bacon?”

“Mom? Teacher says I can’t bring videos of you and dad in bedroom to school anymore. “

For the last time—stop befouling the pantry. The bathroom is out back.

Dang! I could’ve had a V8!

“They produce a new kid every year !”/ said the French Emperor,with a sneer/but the clear implication/was “Kraut inundation “/ and he ended up living in fear!

Little Adolf is rejected by the Vienna Art Academy – and the rest is History.

That’s odd…I wouldn’t have figured them all for minors – the two on both ends of the table look mature enough to be adults!

“Ich habe die Schule satt! Sie bringen uns dazu, Engels zu lesen, und dann muss ich nach Hause in mein eigenes ‘Häuschen in der Prärie’!”

“I’m so tired of school! They make us read Engels, then I’ve got to come home to my own ‘Little House On The Prairie’!”

The other kids laugh and say my goose stepping looks like a bunny hop. Fluffy must go!

The kids all laugh at me because they say it looks like I have a banana in my pocket.

“No, we’re done playing Hide and Seek. Come eat dinner!”

OK!!! It was me! I farted! I’ve already said I’m sorry!
