Today’s Boondocks cartoon reminded me of this past Christmas. Remember when you were a kid and once the opening of presents on Christmas morning was over usually mom and/or dad had to put together at least oneof your toys for you? Well, this past Christmas, once all of the presents were opened, I spent part of the afternoon putting together my parent’s new toys. (My dad got a CD-RW drive and my mom got a “magic box” that allowed the computer to read the cards for her sewing machine.)
