Memories

Yesterday while the boys were taking a nap I was naughty and decided to get myself a little snack covered in allergies. So I reached far into the cupboard behind a lot of pots and pans until my fingers hit a smooth plastic package hidden in the back. I slowly pulled it out being careful not to break the contents inside. Once out I gently opened the wrapping and pushed out the first of two Nutty Bars. Biting into the crispy peanut buttery, chocolaty bar I had a flash back to my first ever taste of a Nutter Butter.

I was very young and my dad had just come home from work and told us he had a surprise for us. All excited and waiting, Jack reached into his pocket and pulled out a Nutter Butter bar and gave it to us. Asking what it was he said try it so we bit into it and enjoyed it greatly. Peanut butter is one of my favorite treats so mixing it with a crispy wafer and chocolate just made it perfect. I remember Tonie asking where he got it and he said that the snack machine guy was taking out the old items and putting in new so he asked if he could buy the old one from him for a quarter. It was the best quarter ever spent. :o)

Anyway, I just thought I would write about a random childhood memory I had and share it with you. Samuel reminds me of myself during that time because when I let him try something new he reacts like I did. But unfortunately due to the boys' allergies they have not been able to enjoy or taste a Nutty Bar.
