Well as many of you associate Spring with flowers, warm sunshine, the sound of baby birds chirping... I now associate this season with my new added memory of Fionn's episode at AutoZone.
Fionn, our three year old, who is quick-witted and known for his one-liners, was out with his dad to go shop for some new license plate covers for the new passenger van. It was a sunny day and a whimsical breeze brought all the cottonseeds floating through the air to gather in the parking lot's curb, near our son's feet.
With the recent outing to the town's carnival the previous month, the taste of cotton candy still danced in Fionn's memory and the excitement that this "free" cotton candy was floating through the air and landing at this feet in large clumps was too good to be true!
My husband, Sean, went to take Fionn's hand to walk across the parking lot to the store when he noticed Fionn's mouth was covered in white cotton. Completely covered. Just eyes peeked out. Suddenly Fionn began to vomit large amounts of this "free" cotton all over the curb, leaving a few mounds of wet cotton mixed with pizza.
Sean asked Fionn while trying to wipe the wet white mess from his face, "Why did you eat this! This is not food!" Fionn cooly replied, "I was looking at the sky with my mouth open and a car drove by and it made all this cotton fly in my mouth. That's all."
My husband's face went blank. Then puzzlement. Then quickly said, "Just don't eat it, okay?"
"Yeah, right," Fionn replied and took his dad's hand.
