Cheeto Cheeks

One thing I've learned during our many years of marriage is to never take my husband shopping with me. We end up spending far more money when he goes than if I were to go by myself. Also, I've learned that for some reason men always think bigger is better

For example, the other day we used a one-day pass to shop at Sam's Club. Glen couldn't control himself and kept throwing things into the shopping cart. His eyes lit up when he saw a HUGE barrel of Cheese Balls. A small bag of them would have been more than plenty, but having the "men mentality", he thought if some would be good, then more would be better.

He put the massive, 35-servings-worth of cheese balls container into the cart claiming he was buying them because Brooke would love them.


Sure enough, Brooke did love the cheese balls. She loved to carry around the container that is almost as big as she is. When it came down to the actual eating of the cheese balls...she wasn't quite the fan of them that Glen had hoped she would be.


Some people in the family got the brilliant idea to see who could stuff the most cheese balls into their mouths. And the winner is...???


Let's just say that after being introduced to the new cheese ball treat, Brooke decided she'd stick with the original Grandpa treat of popcorn--her favorite!!!

Now I know where Sarah gets it from. Everytime we go to the store we end up spending way more than we need to. But our cart is usually full of gallons of ice cream and chocolate rather than cheese balls.

A good activity is throwing cheese balls into your mouth. I've seen some people who are really good at it. These three people I know simultaneously throw into each other's mouths and catch it almost every time.

Glad to see Brooke has true Thomas blood with her love of popcorn.
