What's a Jersey Dad To Do With Kids On His Own? Why the Monmouth Museum at Brookdale University in Lincroft!

No one had the heart to tell her the toast was burning in the demonic toaster frugal Aunt Fanny gave them for a wedding present. The smoke flipped her switch.

"I need a pedi!" screeched Mom, brandishing a spatula after making eggs for the family on a cloudy Saturday morning. 

"You need more than that," Pop wanted to say but checked his tongue.

Miraculously.

After oodles and oodles of snow and a groundhog with a perverse sense of timing, they were all winter cooked. 

Fried and grizzled like Mom's eggs.

Cabin fever gave way to Bieber fever over two months ago. A winter so long even Bieber was shaving. If one more brat announced "I'm bored," Pop was going to take him into the garage, build a raft and make Junior wait for the spring thaw. 

Right beside the rake.

"Wash them. Dress them. Take them," she ordered, swooping across the table and grabbing Pop's cup of coffee. The one with the Rider University logo.

"Where? I'm broke," he complained, "I'm heating this house with oil above a hundred dollars a barrel. I can't afford my Giants' tickets let alone regime change in the Middle East."

Mom double wrapped the belt of her checkered bathrobe around her waist, blew a shock of graying red hair out of her eyes and -- taking a deep breath -- whispered in Pop's ear.

"The Monmouth Museum at Brookdale University is seven bucks a head. Lincroft is right around the corner. Even you oh February Scrooge can Marley up a few shillings to get them in."

Aaaahh, Pop said with a smile. She really was the smarter half.

The Museum is open on Tuesdays to Friday at 2PM to 4:30PM. Saturday from 10AM to 4:30PM. Sunday from 1PM to 5PM. Closed Mondays.
