A bone to pick

From Leland Parrott:

One evening, a family sat down for dinner. The mother served fish, green peas and cauliflower. As they were eating, the boy found a bone while chewing a piece of his fish.

He pulled it out of his mouth and asked, “Mom, what do I do with this?”

“Put it where you’re sure you won’t eat it,” said his mother.
