True.

I got the biggest head a couple weekends ago. I was with my son's Webelos den, and we were roasting marshmallows over a fire. I'm pretty anal about roasting marshmallows. I want them to be evenly golden brown all over and sagging off of the stick, indicating they are warmed up and gooey throughout. The boys were trying to do a good job of roasting, but just don't know the tricks yet. One of them saw my perfect marshmallow just before I was about to put it on my s'more, and exclaimed "Mr. Glatt!" in a very approving tone of voice. And then one of the others looked over and said "Mr. Glatt!" and then a few more, all in awe of my perfect marshmallow. And then finally, one who is a little loud, kind of yelled "MR. GLATT!" And then all the other parents who were milling around stopped what they were doing to look at my perfect marshmallow. So I spent the next ten minutes explaining the finer details of roasting a perfect marshmallow to a dozen boys. They all got to be pretty good.
