On Sunday Danny had set up the Monitor so that our Valiant
class could watch "No Ordinary Shepard" here. She passed out Bingo cards and Froot Loops to
use as markers. There were various
pictures or words representing shepherds, sheep, the baby Jesus, prayer, love,
peace, etc. that would be mentioned in
the video. All that we had to do was
listen and watch in order to mark.
I smile whenever I see Froot Loops as I think to a time
when I was watching my niece who would sometimes be rewarded with
Cheerios. For those of my readers who
may not know, Cheerios is like a staple
of LDS parents with tykes. The Cheerios
are mostly for keeping the little ones quiet during the meetings. Sometimes it works, but not always.
I did not have the Cheerios that she may have been used
to, but had given her Froot Loops to tie her over. It appeared that in her mind she was eating
the most delicious Cheerios that she had ever tasted. The actual Cheerios that she was given at
Church did not measure up to the cool tasting "Cheerios" that were in my cupboard. Truth is, I don't even like Froot Loops. I suppose they make an okay snack when they
are dry. But I think they are disgusting
in milk as they become mushy tasteless circles surrounded by sickenly sweet blue liquid that
no tastes like milk.
I remember attending a baby shower several years
ago. One woman had brought her baby who
was walking but still sucking on a pacifier.
One of the favors that each guest had been given were candies (white
Lifesaver and a pink jelly bean) made into the shape of a pacifier. They were cute.
I remember the baby taking the real pacifier out of her
mouth and inserting the jelly bean. Her
eyes lit up. Wow! It was small but definitely the best tasting
pacifier that she had ever had in her mouth.
So good in fact, that she wanted to share. She kept on extending it out so that other
people could have a taste. She didn't
use words yet, but I could see it in her eyes, "You've got to try
this. It is so amazing."
I knew if I posted the bubbled syringe trigger here, I
would be able to think of more triggers that make me smile.
