PoPcOrN

We are a popcorn loving family. My oldest eats at least one bag a day and doesn't share. Long ago I made the mistake of sharing a bowl of popcorn with Emily. She is a nasty eater. There is no other word to describe it except nasty. After I piled a handful of popcorn in my mouth I knew it was bad. Real bad. The popcorn was wet. I at first thought she spilled her drink in the bowl. Until I left the room and saw her putting the popcorn in her mouth and spitting it back out. Nasty!! Since then nobody shares with Emily.

Every afternoon she gets a snack. She chooses 1lb bags of puff corn from the gas station. Sometimes she gets cheese flavored and sometimes just butter. But always puff corn. After a ball game in the fall I took her to Walmart where she found a 2 lb bag of popcorn. I tried to talk her out of it because I knew that all 2 lbs of it would be hers. No sharing. She wouldn't hear of it. I don't know what it is about the corn that makes her want the biggest bags she can find and I don't know what makes her spit it out. But if you ever think of sharing popcorn with Emily, don't.
