Fresh cheese

We borrowed a DVD of Tom & Jerry episodes. My son loves that show. A couple years ago hubby and I turned it on and promptly turned it off, realizing that the cat and mouse spend a half hour injuring each other in every episode. We have eased up and realized that as long as everyone knows it's pretend, and not acceptable to injure anyone like that, it's still as funny as it was when we were kids.

We were all watching an episode together and Jerry ended up procuring an entire meal from a garbage dump. Hubby said "Yuck - He's eating garbage!" Our son's very defensive reply? "He's a mouse! He has to get food wherever he can. It's not like he can always have fresh cheese!"

Good point. When you look at it that way, Jerry really does the best he can, doesn't he? :-)
