Brecklyn and Talia, and all the Winder kids for that matter, love corn, specifically corn on the cob. So I bought some. Despite Brecklyn’s braces (and advice from her orthodontist that she not eat corn) and Talia’s lack of teeth, the girls both got inventive the other night in order to appease their desire to enjoy the great American past time. Brecklyn would shove the corn back into her mouth so as to use her molars, and Talia had to eat hers sort of cock-eyed so as to use the few teeth still remaining in her mouth- (with the majority of the corn falling out the front.) It was perhaps the most comedic evening of corning eating I have ever witnessed.
These strange eating habits are not reserved only for corn. I had forgotten that when a child eats chocolate chip banana bread, the chocolate ends up in the hair, on the face, and under the fingernails.
Meals are eaten with a fork in the right hand, with the left hand used to push the food on the fork? (Wait, why even use a fork?)
Needless to say, I am becoming reacquainted with childhood and its various oddities.

The neat and tidy
I can’t stop laughing! Thank you so much Kjirsti and Brecky!
It looks like you are definitely keeping them entertained! We missed you at church this last week. I didn’t get the phone message until after church about covering on the piano-oops! Sorry! It looked like it wasn’t a problem though because Sister Hansen filled in. Hope your doing well! We still got to get together sometime and go thrift shopping! Yeah!
Very funny!!!
