Re: Yet another Birth Announcement apparently
The candy reference, especially, is so embarrassingly silly I'm surprised they even mentioned it to people. I mean, come on; what would they have done if the favorite candy was Krackel or Twix or, god help us all, Mounds? They could easily get away with the movie/book reference (though the fact they misspelled Dartagnan doesn't make it hold a whole lot of water) but the candy bar thing is something too dumb for adults to say out loud like it's sincere.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
