It was a joke. The joke was that he misspelled "minors" and wanted kids to work. I thought it might be too obscure, it looks like it is.

No problem, I was thinking "nobody will get this" as I was writing it, but I figured the payoff would be big for someone who did get it. I didn't realize it might look like an attack, partly because it's such a random thing to say in a thread where kids aren't mentioned and the spelling is correct, but I was wrong.
