Luigi Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Your order is in the form of a request. As an auntie, you have the authority to place request that your nephew PLEASE not bring any more paw paws home form Boy Scout camp. It doesn't take much authority to place a request. A true order, "Do not bring any more paw paws home from Boy Scout camp," would have to come from Mom & Dad. Request to your heart's content!

Aya Sophia Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 Paw Paw: "ugly, misshapen green-skinned, evil-tasting 'fruit', sadly native to North America, thriving especially in regions where Boy Scouts set up camp; known to end up in Boy Scout knapsacks by the bag full, transported to Boy Scout homes where normally the onus to process the paw paws into bread, muffins, pudding, etc., before they rot falls to the aunt or other benign and spineless relation unable say 'no.'"

AccountDeleted Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Why would you NOT want to have paw paws brought home to you? They are delicious, especially with a bit of lime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missionseeker Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I think you should ask the parents to get the kid to stop bring you some. Or grow a spine and tell him you have more than you can eat, but maybe there is someone else who need them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
