Mixed Reviews

The sons started mocking the hot dogs before they even took a bite, viewing them suspiciously, calling them stupid-looking and strange.  This after their father unselfishly switched into b-b-q mode on his day off from grilling.  His sons wanted b-b-q and ridicule, not gratitude, turned up on the menu.  After such cruel mockery, it took hubby a moment to build his defense.  "If I remember correctly, these hot dogs were rated number one by Consumer Reports.  No nitrites, no fillers, all natural."  Not the strongest opening statement.  The jury broke into hysterical laughter.  Natural anything holds zero appeal for two dudes who'd rather take up residence at In-N-Out than step foot in a Whole Foods.  Still, the fact that their father knows the weirdest sh*t ultimately swayed them in the end.  They gobbled their hot dogs without further kvetching.  The verdict:  "actually not that bad." What more could a father ask for on the Fourth of July?
