It's official. See this stuff to the left? Yep, everyone in my (maternal) family likes it. I can eat it by the bagful, my sister loves it, my mom loves it and her sister loves it. The dichotomous candy that you can buy in dozens and dozens of varieties in Scandinavia: black licorice. Brett hates it. In fact, he hates it so much that it's officially banned from small spaces that we might both occupy - like cars. I bought a big bag of it in bulk at the grocery store yesterday and decided to offer it to Larson today just to see how much Norwegian is in him. Not to worry, he LOVED the stuff and immediately asked for more, as the brown-black drool dripped down his chin. Little buddy, you have no idea, but you just made your mommy really proud! Now I know that I have to hide it along with the chocolate, way back in the pantry. (Chocolate loving, by the way, is a trait he gets from his daddy's family, so we've got most of the candy categories covered :)Monday, September 1, 2008
There IS some Norwegian in the boy!

Okay, this is random but could you ask Brett to drop me a line at dbennett2@kc.rr.com ? We swam together (gasp) 20 years ago. I hauled his tail to swim practice so many times, it's the least he can do.
Thanks,

ps. I apologize now if the mere mention of my name causes him to regress twenty years or start swearing about what a @!#$ I was.
