Yesterday, I made popcorn for everyone. I munched on mine in the kitchen while I was busy putting away dishes. The kids took theirs in the living room where they watched a movie. A short time later, my son came into the kitchen to talk to me. I turned around and caught him with his hand in my popcorn bowl.
"Hey," I said. "That's mine! Go eat your own popcorn."
He lowered his eyes. "Sorry, Mama. I thought it was mine."
"How much did you eat?" I asked.
He shrugged. "Four pieces." He walked away and returned with his popcorn bowl. He took four pieces out of his bowl and put them in mine.
I smiled. "Thanks, buddy. You didn't have to give me any of yours."
"Yeah, I know," he said. "But I know better than to mess with the Mama's popcorn. I didn't want you to be mad at me."
That's right. Nobody messes with my popcorn!
Four is four too much!
ReplyDeleteOne is too much. :)
DeleteAw! How sweet. It's moments like that when you know you raised them right.
ReplyDeleteI was impressed that he wanted to replace the ones he took.
DeleteHa! Too cute:)
ReplyDeleteI thought it was sweet.
DeleteHi, Sherry!
ReplyDeleteIf they ever revive the Leave It To Beaver series, I know a family that would be perfect as the Cleavers! :)
I'm the same way about my popcorn. Whenever Mrs. Shady gets out the popper, I always remind her to make a batch for herself if she is hungry. She always claims she isn't hungry and doesn't want any. Five minutes later, when we're sitting in front of the TV, I keep noticing her hand in my bowl! :)
Thanks for the smiles, dear friend Sherry!
Who can resist a bowl of popcorn? :)
Delete(They'd have to revive Leave It To Beaver soon, or my kids are going to be too old for the show!)
haha good he can give as well as take. Have to watch that pop corn stealing
ReplyDeletePopcorn is hard to resist. :)
DeleteFunny. It's hard to leave popcorn alone.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is.
DeleteI shall never mess with your popcorn. I have popcorn on my grocery list. I haven't eaten it for about three years. I have a longing for it.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I shall never mess with your popcorn, either. I hope you enjoy it once you get it! :)
DeleteI haven't gone to the grocery store in a while. I guess I'll have to go out when I run low on toilet paper.
DeleteHaha, I don't like sharing my popcorn either xox ♡
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteHehehe! That's how I feel about my cookies. :) Speaking of popcorn, my son's school is having a fundraiser and they have the strange combination of popcorn, garbage bags, and flower seeds. Weirdest combo I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteThat is weird!
DeleteThat's so generous of him! Although he can have all my popcorn. I loathe the stuff.
ReplyDeleteI'll let him know. He'll be thrilled!
DeleteGlad he repaid his debt. Mama did a good job teaching him. :)
ReplyDeleteHe surprised me with that one!
DeleteI am not fussy about popcorn, but nobody touches my pens! LOL!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful post Sherry, a pleasure to read.
