Licking Celery

I took the kids to Jungle Jim’s to get some fresh fruit and veggies today.  Okay, some candy too, but that wasn’t the main purpose of the trip.

We’d already picked out the apples, plums, grapes, strawberries, bananas and yellow water melon, but still needed to get my celery.  I’d picked out the two bunches I wanted and was starting to push the cart away when my son grabbed a bunch of celery off the display and licked the entire length of it.  Yes, I bought it.  His reason was that he didn’t want all dark green celery.  I almost put his candy back, but thought it might be a tad counter productive to punish a kid for picking out a veggie he wanted.

Now I must go make a fruit salad for dinner.

    Gotta love the kiddos! That is funny though. Good thing he didn’t lick an entire cheesecake or something! LOL

    P.S. do you know if Jungle Jim’s has Sushi? I have been craving sushi for 2 weeks now and I am desperate enough to drive to Fairfield to get it! ;)
