Government Crackers

 So, there are these crackers called Almond Nut-thins. The particular box has “a hint of sea salt.”  Anyhow, Mom comes up to me and asked if I wanted a “nut cracker.”  She then took a bite of hers and decided that a hint of salt, in fact, means no salt. She then glowered at the box and said,”Stupid government regulations.” After one last dignified huff, she walked into the dining room, grabs the salt shaker, and salts the entire box of crackers. She then walked over to me and asked if I wanted a “Nongovernment cracker.”  It’s rarely dull around here!
