I've been reading a book...

...about Theodore Roosevelt and was struck by this line last night:

Edith [Roosevelt] found the Executive Mansion rat-infested and too small for her family, and the President joined his sons in rat-chasing during family dinners.

Rat-chasing? What's the best smart-aleck response to this?

(A) I knew there was something missing from my childhood.

(B) Growing up in the White House sure sounds glamorous!

(C) And to think, when I was a kid all we ever did at dinner was talk about sports.
