Thread Name: BS: remember the broccoli
Subject: RE: BS: remember the broccoli
Picture this brief sketch.
In this home, a subscription to "Sing Out!" is de rigueur.
One day, issue number 37 shows up with the Lonnquist song.
The Sing Out! parent makes of this, a teaching moment.

Parent to child: Remember when George H W Bush ran for re-election?
Child: Clinton won.
Parent: that's right. And why did George H W Bush lose the election?
Child: Clinton won?
Parent: Why did George H W Bush not get re-elected as the incumbent for the US Presidency?
       Because:
       "He Didn't Eat His Broccoli."

You fill in the blank for the child's riposte.
