BaBA calls me and says, "Please come over here and help me.

I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can't figure out how to get it started."

I ask, "What is it supposed to be when it's finished?"

BaBa says, "According to the picture on the box, it's a tiger."

I decide to go over and help with the puzzle.

He lets me in and shows me where he has the puzzle spread all over
the table.

I study the pieces for a moment, then look at the box, then turn
to him and say, "First of all, no matter what we do, we're not going to
be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a tiger."

I then take his hand in mine and say, "Second, I want you to relax. Let's have a nice cup of tea, and then...", I sighed...

Let's put all these Frosted Flakes back in the box.
