I remember sneaking snacks and treats when I was young. Tip-toe down the stairs, avoiding the third one from the top that creaked loud enough to wake the dead. If successful I’d slip into the kitchen to snag a Ding-Dong, Twinkie or whatever sugar laced item could be rummaged from the kitchen, all the while my parents watching TV.
Then with a weary eye to the north room I’d sly back up the stairs and enjoy the booty in bed. If I were extra stealth I’d catch a few scenes of Dallas or Fantasy Island while enjoying the bounty. Bold as it was, I think that few things were as rewarding as pulling of a successful mission for booty.
Fast forward to today. To think that now as a father that my kids are any different would be folly. But when you catch them red-handed it’s fun to joke with them.
So it was when walking through the kitchen that I caught Annapurna with her hand in the Cheerios. Talk about a bold undertaking, mid morning and all! Her brothers could likely teach her a thing or two. At least she was willing to share!
