One night, the Potato family sat down to dinner. Mother Potato, Father
Potato, and their three daughters. Midway through the meal, the eldest
daughter spoke up. "Mother Potato?" she said. "I have an announcement to
make."
"And what might that be?" said Mother, seeing the obvious excitement in her
eldest daughter's eyes. "Well," replied the daughter, with a proud but
sheepish grin, "I'm getting married!" The other daughters squealed with
surprise as Mother Potato exclaimed, "Married!... That's wonderful! And who
are you marrying, Eldest daughter?" "I'm marrying a Jersey Royal!" "A Jersey
Royal!" replied Mother Potato with pride. "Oh, a Jersey Royal is a fine
tater, a fine tater indeed!"
As the family shared in the eldest daughter's joy, the middle daughter spoke
up. "Mother, I too, have an announcement." "And what might that be?" asked
Mother Potato, "I, too, am getting married!" said the daughter "And who are
you marrying, Middle Daughter?" "I'm marrying a King Edward," beamed the
middle daughter. "A King Edward!" said Mother Potato with joy. "Oh, a King
Edward is a fine tater, a fine tater indeed!"
Once again, the room came alive with laughter and excited plans for the
future, when the youngest Potato daughter interrupted. "Mother
Potato?...Umm, I, too, have an announcement to make." "Yes?" said Mother
Potato with great anticipation. "Well," began the youngest Potato daughter
with the same sheepish grin as her eldest sister before her, "I hope this
doesn't come as a shock to you, but I am getting married, as well!"
"Really?"..said Mother Potato with sincere excitement..." All of my lovely
daughters married! What wonderful news! And who, pray tell, are you
marrying, youngest Daughter?" "I'm marrying John Motson!" "John
Motson?!"..Mother Potato scowls...
"But he's just a common tater!"
