We all know he had a way with the young. He had reserves of patience and kindness, and he spent much of his life dealing with teenagers. I need his skills today.
My daughter is 14. She is old enough to be a young gentleman, (or a useful young lady.) Tell me, fangirls, what you think of this:
She had plans to sleep over at a friends house. But she came home first to walk and feed the dog. This is one of her jobs. She does it every night. She was in a hurry, her mind on other things. After she left, I found the poor dog sitting and looking doleful. Daughter had given her a bowl of cooked asparagus!
Mr Bush would have her warmly reminded of her duties. I am less inclined, of course to bend her over a cannon. But still ripping my hair out.

Dog, btw does like many strange human foods. Cashews, tea, marshmallows, things like that. But asparagus was a step too far.
Asparagus. Which, around HERE, is a rare treat for the humans, not to be given to unappreciative dogs even if we had any.
What is this I don't even!
Dog, if not to be given dog food would have been willing to accept a fluffernutter sandwich.
And as for Ned = he was known for his fine table in later years = I don't think he would approve of asparagus for an unwilling canine :)
