13. Dear Mister Language Person: I am
curious about the expression, "Part of this complete breakfast". The way
it comes up is, my 5-year-old will be watching TV cartoon shows in the
morning, and they'll show a commercial for a children's compressed
breakfast compound such as "Froot Loops" or "Lucky Charms", and they
always show it sitting on a table next to some actual food such as eggs,
and the announcer always says: "Part of this complete breakfast". Don't
that really mean, "Adjacent to this complete breakfast", or "On the same
table as this complete breakfast"? And couldn't they make essentially the
same claim if, instead of Froot Loops, they put a can of shaving cream
there, or a dead bat?
Answer: Yes.

14. Sometimes when I get up in the
morning, I feel very peculiar. I feel like I've just got to bite a cat! I
feel like if I don't bite a cat before sundown, I'll go crazy! But then I
just take a deep breath and forget about it. That's what is known as real
maturity.
