I’m lucky to be a stay-at-home dad. Sorry, another “Off Topic” post but I figure this audience will appreciate it. It’s a story about strawberries and five-year old greed.<\/p>\n
The past few years have had their career and health frustrations, so I took on a hobby and planted a fruit garden (raspberries, blackberries, cherries, blueberries, strawberries, and then the fall brings tomatoes, peppers, and soon, asparagus. It’s been three years since most of that was installed and gardeners know that means … we finally get to really harvest! Strawberries are first and today I took a handful of “prairie strawberries”\u00a0into the house to share with my kids. In a fit of 5-year old greed my Henry grabbed the last three. Maggie snatched one away from him but the other two were gobbled.\u00a0I snapped at him, telling him I wanted a last one too. He looked glum and stared at the floor. Then mumbled sorry, and walked to his room.\u00a0 I picked up a book and started reading.<\/p>\n
I never even heard the backdoor but Henry came running in excitedly with two strawberries – one in each hand. He handed one to me and said “You said you wanted one more.\u00a0 I found you two!”<\/p>\n
Sweetest strawberries I ever ate.<\/p>\n
Have a great weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
