Ahh, yes, the starving children in Biafra... a country that didn't even exist for three whole years... Yet parents used the starving kids argument for decades. I heard it too. It dates us...

How about the kid who didn't like dinner and the mom says "Eat your dinner, there's starving kids in <country>."
The kid responds "Send it to them.".


The child obviously does not appreciate the cost of postage!

That sounds like something the snarky 8th grader in me would have said, back in 1968. The ultimate "mom's cooking" insult...

I could get away with it, *sometimes,* since my Mom was pretty snarky sometimes, herself. She would appreciate my calling her bluff, so long as I smiled while doing it. She grew up with two sisters and three brothers who were all crazy jokesters.

There are lots of reasons to have that many photographers on hand for a bulb change. Positioning, lighting, what brand and model to use, angle of the ladder - the list goes on.

That was WAY before a kid could get away with "You're not the boss of me!"
In 1968 it sort of went like this "You're not the .....WACK!!!!!!" ("Wack" indicating a backhand slap upside your head.
A slap you should have been ready for.)
