It started over a year ago with small items like two grapes, or a few goldfish, or a cracker. But this nightly feast has grown into a second supper. The scene goes like this - both boys are tucked into their bunkbeds cozy and snug watching the movie of choice for that night. There has usually been some squabbling over which movie is going to be selected though we always take turns picking. Colt is easily convinced to like Cade's choices, but Cade is not so easily swayed from his opinion of Colt's.
Kisses are given, tight hugs passed out, the nightly "Sweet Dreams.." etc. Then no more than 10 minutes go by when we hear "Mommy"...."Daddy." Inevitably the request is for Pretzel sticks - not the puny little sticks but the huge Rods. Two each so they can pretend they are drum sticks. Another 10 minutes pass and the call for course#2 comes in. This usually is a cheese stick, but sometimes a repeat of pretzel sticks. Round #3 is almost always a meat course - typically a slice of ham. Occasionally the requests get outlandish and surprising here are a few of my favorites - popcorn, popsicles, hot dogs, chips, bowls of grapes, animal cookies, diet coke, goldfish, and gogurt.
I'll let it remain a mystery as to which requests were granted and which were rejected.
