While putting 'petit' brussels sprouts into a container for microwaving, while spouse is eating his lunch nearby:
Out loud: “Mmmmm. Baaaaaby brussels sprouts! Ripped untimely from the nest!” (Him: “Gaah!”)
Not out loud, based on previous feedback: “Less protein than rat pups, but no bones to get caught in your teeth!”
No, I wouldn't actually EAT rat pups except in a highly improbable type of survival situation. Even if they might have more vitamin C than brussel sprouts. 😉 I know some folks keep rats as pets, they're smart, yada yada. This is the kind of house where I've seriously considered saving our old microwave, removing the door (and power cord!) and putting a cat bed in it. If I owned a wiener dog, I'd buy one of those bun costumes for it. Lighten up, peeps.
