  1. Hi Michael,
    Here are the answers to today’s challenging questions:

    2. Michael pigged out on barbecued hot dogs and then pigged out on brownies too.

  2. Hi Michael,

    1. Jack’s wife supports the family. Jack stays home to take care of their son.
    2. Michael pigged out on hot dogs and brownies at the barbecue.

    Now nobody brings home the bacon enough to support our family. We are eating away at our savings. I have to find a good job…

    Have a nice day!
