Vacation note #1

We just ate Vietnamese take-out last night, so I thought I’d tell you about this little interaction Ernie and I had one morning when I was driving him to “kids camp” in Minnesota:

Ernie: [long soliloquy on the many wondrous features of cotton candy ice cream in a transparent attempt to get a cone at the end of the day]

Me: uh-huh

Ernie: Mama, do you love cotton candy ice cream?

Me: Sweetie, not really. It’s just too sweet for me.

Ernie: No, Mama. I know you don’t like how it tastes. But do you like how beautiful it is?
