Gracie has a new habit of asking me what kind of treat I brought her when I pick her up from school. Many days I forget to bring her something so I hear her wrath all the way home. The treats are generally a fruit roll up from the cupboard or a sucker I picked up at the bank. Some days I check her lunch box to see what she hasn't eaten and then play if off like the baggie of goldfish was her planned treat all along. She is still young enough to fall for it yet I suppose I should be concerned with her demand for treats on a daily basis. I'll cross that bridge someday but for now a quiet ride home at the end of the work day is worth any stinkin treat she wants.
So the other day at pick up I was so happy that I did have a treat for her. Licorice. I had transported the Trunk N Treat candy that was donated at church on Sunday to the office on Monday morning and a few pieces of wrapped licorice fell out into my trunk. Score! I have 2 days worth of treats for GG... or so I thought. Turns out my precious little pumpkin is a little more picky than I had expected. She does not like licorice. I do. Score!
But now I faced an unhappy ride home, one I did not want to deal with so I did not hesitate to stop at the store and let her pick out a treat. Her choice - a blue raspberry flavored push up pop. It took her forever to suck that thing down all the while turning her teeth and tongue the most amazing color of blue-ish green. I brushed her teeth three times and then resorted to shoving a wet wash cloth in her mouth to scrub her teeth and tongue clean. I took a picture of the tongue because I could not believe how bright the color was. She proceeded to pose. Enjoy.
she's great! You have a beautiful family.
