Grandma* Gone Bad

Three maple donuts
                                                  
Half a bag of cotton candy

Two hot dogs – with bun – and ketchup

One Mountain Dew

Two pancakes - with maple syrup

One brownie

One capri-sun

This beautiful woman is who Rowen
should have had for a grandmother -
she looks kind, but I can just tell that
she knows how to say ‘no’ to cotton
candy . . . and maple donuts . . .
and pop tarts (especially pop
tarts) . . . well, you get the picture.

Countless glasses of juice - mango/peach

Two pop tarts

One Pepsi

Popcorn - with lots of butter & salt to offset all the sugar

And did I mention the maple ice cream?

In 38 hours, I managed to avoid pretty much all the major food groups when feeding my grandson.  In my defense, it was Maple Festival weekend and fair food was pretty much the order of the day.  And who can say no to a charming 4-year-old who has never before experienced cotton candy?  Not me!

So if you want to know how to get what you want out of me - state secrets and all – skip the waterboarding and splinters under the fingernails and just send in the grandson.  I’m putty in his hands.
