Too funny!  Yuck, I hear they are good for you.

A funny thing happened this afternoon.  Sarah moved up to the four- and
five-year-old class at preschool, so to celebrate, I made her an ice cream
sundae.  Neopolitan ice cream, all three flavors, whipped cream, and
sprinkles.  Everything went well till the sprinkles.  I had two kinds, and I
took one kind out of the cupboard.  Sarah objected, so I thought she wanted
the other kind.  I let her guide my hand up to the bottle she wanted.  I
should have tasted or smelled the contents of the bottle, which I usually
do, but I figured Sarah knew the bottle she wanted by sight.  I sprinkled
the sundae generously and put the bottle away.

Then I heard a wail, "It tastes awful, Mama!  It tastes like ... yuck!"

You guessed it!  Garlic sundae.  I felt so silly.  I made another sundae,
but this is one of those things we'll probably remember and laugh over for
years to come.
