  1. Maggie Says:

    In the second photo, is the baby doing the Mashed Potato?

  2. Bill Gleason Says:

    Along those lines, is Mr.UD feeding that kid a beer?

  3. Margaret Soltan Says:

    Maggie: Funny! Now that I look at it, it looks like it.

    Yes, Bill. He’s feeding little Tommy his first beer.

  4. Polish Peter Says:

    Mrs. Polish Peter thought it would be funny to give our daughter, now 28, her first taste of beer under similar circumstances, although she was a bit older than little Tommy. Tremendous gastrointestinal discomfort ensued, but no permanent damage.

  5. Margaret Soltan Says:

    Well, I guess I must confess at this point that the beer can was empty. A completely staged event.

  6. Bill Gleason Says:

    Thank you for making a clean breast of this, Margaret.

    Bill

  7. theprofessor Says:

    Feeding the kid light beer as his first taste of the stuff would have been a crime against humanity, anyway.

  8. Margaret Soltan Says:

    Mr UD was indeed disgusted, tp, at the beer he had to use for the picture. I believe the words “camel’s piss” were uttered.

  9. Leland Says:

    Picture 1 gives a new meaning to UD. The University Diet is the preferred diet of college kids, and is my diet from now until May 9 (when I graduate).
