Here's a dialog from the Drueke childhood. Chris: Look! Paul Bunyan who ate all the onions! Jeremiah: No. It's Paul Bunyan who ate all the popcorn. Chris: No, it's onions! (followed by crying) Dad: Stop it Jeremiah.
A scene from a visit to Castle Rock, MI - circa 1981
I think we avoided most confrontations (because we're Druekes) by making a wall of pillows between us; thus, avoiding eye contact or contact of any form. Ain't it grand being mid-western!

cry baby.
stop it!!! waaahhhhh!
Sweet Jesus! Again with the Paul Bunyan!!! Grow up! I repressed that, and most other childhood memories, years ago.
And it's still TOTALLY popcorn.
I reasonably certain it was pancakes, which is exactly what I would have pointed out had I been in your Dad's shoes on this one.

Michael Phelps is better than Paul Bunyon.
Flapscrap n' me, we're Provosts. We CREATE confrontations.
They weren't pillows, they were couch cushions! Sheesh!
Those aren't pillows!!
The critical mistake here was committed by your dad. He should have said, "Paul Bunyan ate children." and left it at that.
