almost 30 years to late

Do you know that feeling you get when you think of the perfect come-back retort, only it is way to late?

This morning while driving to work I thought of a retort to something my brother said to me when we were kids. We were both eating pancakes, and I was putting honey on mine instead of maple syrup, like him. He made a comment, steeped in kid logic, about maple syrup being better because it came from a big, strong tree in stead of a little flower, like honey.

The comeback?

Which would you rather have to deal with, a maple tree that has just been tapped for sap or a hive of bees that have just had their hone come taken from their hive?
