My husband has a favourite brand of jelly beans and a few days ago I picked up a small bag of them for him. To help me make my escape to the local Wal-mart so as to stock up on birthday goodies for the upcoming teen celebration he cheerfully distracted 3 years old Elsa with the bribe of sharing his special jelly beans!
Upon getting home I asked Elsa if she had enjoyed the jelly beans.
"Yes! I DID!" She exploded with a huge grin.
"Oh, and are there any left?" I queried.
"Nope!"
"Not even ONE jelly bean, you didn't save me any?" I teased.
"Well, I tried to... but I just ate 'dem all. " she sighed with a shrug of helplessness.
Those jelly beans... they just overtook her little taste buds and disappeared, each and every one of them, into her little tummy!
Jelly beans are one of my favorite candies -- they are bright, colorful, happy little things AND!!! I do not care for the taste so I am not tempted!! I love to give them to my friends because they are so popular with most people. Now if only I felt that way about ice cream and pasta .... and hot buttered popcorn ..... and (well, you get the idea!)
