A Message from the Annunaki

Ha ha! I have a great deal more respect for my plate and my balancing powers. Less peas maybe, more cubes of squash.
The Annunaki were ancient Sumerian gods which some modern commentators suppose were aliens and the true progenitors of the human race. This just goes to show that parents never stop trippin' about housework, even after they have long moved away. Also, notice that the Annunaki did not lift a finger (or tentacle, or pincer?) to help!
