They've divided it up between them. The brains of the family is reading the editorials, and the juvenile members reading the comic section. Here, junior, I'm finished with the comic section. Give me the sports page, please, huh?
Well, I didn't read the ad pop. Here's the editorial page. What do I want with the editorial page? I ain't got nothing to wrap up. Well, you should read the editorial's pop, so you'll know what's going on.
