Country Girls. . . . .

A couple of weeks ago we took a short road trip to Tampa during the kids spring break to take Meg to the orthopedic Doctor. Meg, Brenna, Adam, and I went down for a couple of days and stayed at Aunt Georgia's. While we were there I noticed a Dunkin Doughnuts down the street and decided since the girl's had never been I would take them there and get a "baker's dozen". I'll admit it had been quite awhile since I myself had walked into one of these lovely little shops and immediately started drooling over all of the wonderful doughnuts that they have to offer. I can remember as a child going with my Dad on Saturday mornings to pick some up as a breakfast surprise for the lazy ones back at the house still in bed. When we walked in the girl's I think were pleasantly surprised at all of the choices they had. When it was our turn I asked the clerk if they had any munchkins left. You all know what I'm talking about. Remember when you were a kid and you actually were able to con your Mom or Dad into buying a whole box for you? Man just like potato chips you couldn't eat just one! Well, the girl responded that they were out to which Brenna immediately asked, "What's a munchkin?". The girl behind the counter kind of glanced at Brenna and said matter of factly, "It's a doughnut hole.". Now, this is when Meghan promptly replied, "What's a doughnut hole?". This is when the girl threw me a look that all but said, "Who are these girls and what wood pile did you drag them out from?!". I at least was able to control my laughter when I politely explained to her that the nearest Dunkin Doughnuts to us was about 50 miles away and that they had never had the honor of visiting one. I then had to go on and explain to my girls just what in the world a munchkin was and how important they are to not only a child's education but also the world economy. Ok, well maybe those last two are far fetched but at least 3 out of 5 kids have had the lovely honor of saying they have eaten one of my favorite childhood junk foods!
