If your dad was like most parents, he would have told you to stop
monkeying around eat the god-damn crust. In which case, like most kids,
you would have learned to that stuff.

Most kids do not like the crust on a peanut butter sandwich, the top of
which, was the most disliked. Of course, back it the day, my mom would
have found my not eating the crust to be inexcusable. I had to suck it
up and eat that bitter tasting crust. My understanding is that moms
these days are likely to cut off the crusts so that the precious chilren
can be spared this trauma of childhood. It's pretty much the decline of
the Western civilization you got going on right there.
