Grandkids: Evan is right, after all

By Ed Waggener

Evan had a visit to his dentist for a routine check up this past week. For his bravery, the dentist gave him a reward.

The six year old was heartbroken, later in the day, when the recognition was lost, and couldn't be consoled.

His father, Pen, told him that the reward was just a cheap trinket.

Ev set him straight. "No. It's special, just for me. I had to have a tonsillectomy to get it," he said, "and I'm not going through that again!"

Even in the face of that protest, his dad tried to prove that the reward was just a cheap lagniappe, and took Evan to the computer to find the product online.

Turns out, Pen was wrong. The reward was actually quite precious, with a rather dear price of $7.50 a gross.

Pen sprung for the $7.50 and ordered 144 of the items, which Evan, deservedly, is keeping all for himself. Granddad/EW
