Daddy Put In Bye-Bye Box

The Onion produces some razors-edge satire, but I like them best when the topic isn't so topical.

Take, for instance, this one.

Although neither Grandma Sarah nor Uncle Brian has visited the house since, 3-year-old Rebecca said she knows that Daddy will be back soon, because she has a ballet recital next week, and Daddy promised he would be there to watch her.
My hope is there's a special place in heaven for The Onion writers, but that hope might be slightly liberal in salvation theology.

That's completely depressing. My smile feels like it's being squeezed through a screen door--but there definitely is one (a smile, I mean, but not a screen door so much).
