That favorite childhood pastime........

Talked to Nesie the other morning coming home, I knew she would be up getting the kids off to school and I was in desperate need of a Sam fix. Well, my boy Sam did not disappoint...It would seem he has been up to his old tricks ...running the neighborhood...Remember the games we played as children growing up, jump rope, hide and seek, and cowboy and Indians to name a few....Well it would seem that over at the Tributary, they play a new game when Sam's outside.....Apparently, Carrot Wars is the latest thing........Yep Carrot Wars....That art of taking the carrots that your mother just brought you (with ranch dip) and slinging them at on coming traffic (whoever gets a bulls eye(head) wins). Nesie said she was inside thinking her children were eating a healthy snack when Maddy came in to tell her about the traffic jam that had formed in front of the house.....A woman in a shiny car was ready to strangle Sam when Nesie walked outside to the sea of orange spread out before her, trying hard to explain to Sam how wrong this was and how people in the neighborhood must think that her children were brats...Sam looked up at her with those adorable dimples and said "Whats the big deal mom, it's just a dumb game of carrot wars". Remember Sam is four.....Nesie has a long way to go with those dimples....She said she went grocery shopping and is looking at produce in a different light....


Good Luck Nesie

Your gonna need it!!!
