The Return of Mr. Potato

Once upon a time, there was a little boy who loved potatoes. He would eat potatoes. He would pile potatoes. He would mash potatoes.


On one crisp fall day, he found himself in tears. Books couldn't soothe him, cars and trucks couldn't soothe him, not even Thomas the famous Train could soothe him.


Fortunately, his mother had a bright idea. She remembered another very desperately sad day and the solution then. Could it work again? Certainly it couldn't. Or could it?


She tried. And taking Mr. Potato into the shower to wash and cradle and care for was the answer, again. So, here's to the little boy who loves potatoes so much he actually bathes with them.

The End.
