Growing Up?!
Published Mar 18, 2003
A man pleaded with the psychiatrist, "You've got to help me. It's my son."
"What's the matter?"
"He's always eating mud pies. I get up in the morning and there he is in the backyard eating mud pies. I come home at lunch and he's eating mud pies. I come home at dinner and there he is in the backyard eating mud pies."
The psychiatrist reassured him, "Give the kid a chance. It's all part of growing up. It'll pass."
"Well, I don't like it, and neither does his wife."
