I just love reading with Mama despite having to hear about this Jack Horner character.  Not only does this brat sit in a corner all alone and hog an entire pie but he then proceeds to stick his thumb in it and then to top it all off he proclaims his goodness for committing such an act.  One has to wonder about these children's stories since so many of them seem to demonstrate questionable virtues...

P.S.  Have you ever had plum pie?  If so, what did you think?  Can't say that I've ever tried it.
