Subject: A Potato Grows Up

Well, Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other, and finally they

got married, and had a little sweet potato, which they called 'Yam.' Of

course, they wanted the best for Yam.

When it was time, they told her about the facts of life. They warned her

about going out and getting half-baked, so she wouldn't get accidentally

mashed, and get a bad name for herself like 'Hot Potato,' and end up with

a bunch of Tater Tots.

Yam said not to worry, no Spud would get her into

the sack and make a rotten potato out of her! But on the other hand, she

wouldn't stay home and become a Couch Potato either. She would get plenty

of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring cousins.

When she went off to Europe, Mr. and Mrs. Potato told Yam to watch out for the

hard-boiled guys from Ireland, and the greasy guys from France,called the

French Fries. And when she went out west, to watch out for the Indians so

she wouldn't get scalloped. Yam said she would stay on the straight and

narrow and wouldn't associate with those high class Yukon Golds, or the

ones from the other side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all

the trucks that say, 'Frito Lay.'

Mr. and Mrs. Potato sent Yam to Idaho P.U.

(that's Potato University) so that when she graduated she'd really be in

the Chips. But in spite of all they did for her, one-day Yam came home

and announced she was going to marry Tom Brokaw.

Tom Brokaw!

Mr. and Mrs. Potato were very upset. They told Yam she couldn't possibly marry Tom Brokaw because he's just.......

a Commom Tater.

Thats awful, really really bad.
