Lipstick on a pig

Mom: Here buddy, you'll like this.
Hotrod: What is it?
Mom: Try it, you'll like it.
Hotrod: It looks like a pretzel.
Mom: It is, but it has a candy coating.
Hotrod: I don't like pretzels.
Mom: See the red and green stripes? Like a candy cane. It tastes just like candy.Try it.
Hotrod: But it's a pretzel. Yuck, it's a pretzel.

I guess it doesn't matter how you dress up the pretzel, it's still a pretzel to a 4 yearold.
