| Robert Heinlein had "the bunghole theory" of child raising, as
expressed thourhg his character Lazarus Long (The Senior). All
children should be put in a barrel when born and fed through the
bunghole. At age thirteen, you plug up the bung.

re.6
eight-year-old? That's not a rugrat, its a fully grown 'Cooking Fat'.
Anyway, the nursery rhyme tells me you drown cooking fats in the
well!.

In the interest of maintaining this file's tradition of pedantry, the
actual Heinlein Bunghole Theory is stated:
"At birth all male children should be put into a barrel and
fed through the bunghole. At age 18 a concious descision
should be made either to open the barrel or to plug up the
bung."

| How about the term "crumb cruncher"? That could be why every home
with a child needs a good vacuum cleaner.
