Conversation With My 15 Year Old From Today

Me: "Grace, taste these gummy worms. They taste like waxy & gross mixed together."

Grace: "Gross."

Munch munch munch...

Grace: "Ew. You're right."

Me: "The red & white ones taste like sulfate-free shampoo in wax form."

Grace: "How do you know that's what it tastes like?"

Me: "I imagined that's what it tastes like so that if ever one day some sulfate-free shampoo fell in my mouth, I would be prepared."

Grace: "This one tastes like moldy lettuce & powdered tuna."

Me: "Your words made me gag."

Grace: "Yup."

Me: "Do gummy worms have an expiration date? Do you think the gas station sold us bad candy?"

Grace: "No. I don't think so...Maybe."

Me: "Taste this one. It's like..."

Grace: "Laundry soap & candle...?"

Me: "That's it. Yankee candle & Tide. With a hint of rotten lime."

Grace: "These are really gross."

Me: "Why are we still eating them?"

Grace: "I'm not sure. Maybe we should stop."

Me: "These were not enjoyable oral sensations."

Grace: "They're herbal?"

Me: "Oral, dear, oral."

Grace: "Oh. That's funny." Pause. "If you suck the bad taste off the gummy worms they start to taste better."

Me: "Okay, I'll try that. Give me the last one there."

That was my afternoon ride in the truck. How was yours?
