Pun-tastic!

Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other and finally they got married and had a little sweet potato which they called Yam.

Of course they wanted the best for Yam.

When it was time they told her about the facts of life.

They warned her about going out and getting half-baked so she wouldn’t get accidentally mashed and get a bad name for herself like “Hot Potato” and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots.

But on the other hand, she shouldn’t stay home and become a Couch Potato either.

She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring cousins.

When she went off to Europe, Mr. and Mrs. Potato told Yam to watch out for the hard-boiled guys from Ireland and the greasy guys from France called French Fries. When she went out west, they told her to watch out for the Indians so she wouldn’t get scalloped.

Mr. and Mrs. Potato sent Yam to Idaho P. U. (that’s Potato University) so that when she graduated she’d really be in the Chips.

But in spite of all they did for her, one-day Tam came home and announced she was going to marry Tom Brokaw.

Tom Brokaw???

Mr. and Mrs. Potato were very upset!

They told Yam she couldn’t possibly marry Tom Brokaw because he’s just a Commontater.
