We buy our bread from the Sara Lee store down the road. I can get a loaf of bread for 75 cents! So, once every couple months, Gia and I head over there and stock up on about 10 loafs. This time when we went in, an elderly man came up to us and handed me a dollar. I think he may have had a stroke because his language was a little slurred, but I understood him and gushed over his kindness. HIs said, "this is so she can buy a cookie." I thanked him repeatedly and couldn't get over how sweet it was. Gia gave him a big smile, so I'm sure that made his day. The store keeper told me that he comes in on a regular basis, and he always carries a dollar just in case he sees a child. How sweet!
I looked around the store at what they had, trying to find something that Gia could eat and Bobby would enjoy, too. When Bobby got home and saw the Honey Bun, he got excited and said, "Hey, a Honey Bun! Is this for me?" I said, "No, it's for Gia." His face dropped momentarily until I laughed and told him the story (and that he could have some, too). So, this morning after breakfast, they shared the treat. Yes, I know, sugar overload for my 11 month old. But just look at that face... she loved it! And she'll have Bobby's amazing cholesterol and metabolism, so what the heck.
This one looks a little blue-tinted... not sure how that happened.
Needless to say, she's got a sweet-tooth like her daddy!
