I want to tell you a funny story about my grandfather and dog food.  When I was a little girl and my grandparents were visiting, my grandfather got up during the middle of the night for a snack.  My mother got up and found him in the kitchen unknowingly eating dog food.  I guess he thought it was some crunchy kind of cereal or snack.  We laughed and laughed about that many times in the years to come.  I’m sure a lot of you have funny family stories, too.

If you’ve never tasted “bubble tea,” you’re not missing much (except maybe some laughs). It’s kind of like having tea with moth balls in it….LOL. Well, maybe I’m exaggerating a little bit. What the tea actually has in it is large pieces of tapioca which have swelled up. I had a large straw to drink it with, but the tapioca kept getting stuck in the straw. The tea was really good, that is…when I could get the tapioca out of the straw so I could drink it. I tried drinking directly out of the cup, but then I had these large pieces of tapioca charging at me, so I gave up on that.

I wasn’t the only one who ordered bubble tea at the time. My mother-in-law ordered it, too. However, my daughter was smart enough to order something else. We got a few good laughs out of it, though, so the overall experience was entertaining. But I don’t think I’ll order it again. Don’t let me discourage you from trying it because you might really like it. At the very least, it might be entertaining!

If you haven’t heard the “Mom Song” yet, you must go to the link below and listen to it.  It was written by a mom, Anita Renfroe, for moms.  I’ve heard it several times on KLTY and was wishing I had a recording of it.  A friend emailed me this link today and I was thrilled to get it.  It’s everything a lot of moms might say to their kids in 24 hours …. only it’s said in less than 3 minutes to the tune of the William Tell Overture.
