12. Our Grand daughter, my wife and myself

Nov 2015

were having us a marsh mellow roast in the back yard a while back and they sent me to the store to get the marsh mellows. Grand Daughter (8 YO,) told me Papa we want the big ones, not them tiny little things. In hind sight I think big ones she meant the ones like we're all used to using for this very thing and the tiny ones like the ones like you might find in a mug of hot chocolate. Anyways off to the store I trudge and to my surprise they had some really big marsh mellows, I mean a good two inches in diameter so I get them and head on home thinking I did good. When I get out of the truck and grand daughter sees the size of the marsh mellows I have she says Hollie Mollie papa we didn't mean that big. None of us had seen that big of a marsh mellow before. We all three got a kick out of it and went on about our marsh mellow roasting, laughing at the size of them the whole time. Hey you could toast them, eat the outer good part and toast them again two more times before the centers were so soft to fall off the stick.


Anyways if was loads of fun to be had by all
