Squirrel Juice

Family classic about Kandus when she was 3 years old:

Kandus was enjoying her after dinner "treat" which was a Swirl Popper (which she called a squirrel popper, no matter how many times I reminded her.) They are the push up popsickle kind...super, super messy!! Things quickly turned real ugly. I heard her yelling out to me, "Mom! There is squirrel juice everywhere! Come quick!"

I walk into the kitchen ready to see the damage when I find what looks like a masacre.

Kandus is sitting on the floor in the middle of a big puddle of red. Red is all over her face and dripping off her chin. As she lifts her hands off the floor juice drips off her fingertips and is all the way up to her elbows. With a guiltless expression, she said to me, "Mom! Look what happened."

My mind pictures a squirrel. Laughing hysteria sets in and I can't stop. Not for a long while.

It was the best and I will never forget it. I love laughing with you Kandus.
