That’s Not Candy

Blue, yellow and pink sweethearts candy for Valentine's

“That’s not candy, yuck!”

This is what my son decided after trying the Sweethearts candy that he came home with today. I had to agree.

I also had to agree with the blue heart when I saw the printing job on these things. LOL indeed.

I remember these candies tasting just as bad when I was a kid, but I don’t remember such a high ratio of printing errors in a package. But then again, maybe nothing ever is quite as we remember.

I hope you had a happy Valentine’s day!

 

Just Try

It may not be pretty, but we have to try anyway.

I told my son yesterday during his first time roller skating, “Here’s what we’re going to do: you’re going to move your little roller skate feet back onto the rink and we’re going to try again. We were invited to this birthday party and your friends are all trying it, too. I’ll come with you and help you.”

To sit at the table and watch would have been a wasted opportunity. Better to jump in and try than wonder what could have been.
