the break-up

Well, it was a short love affair. And unfortunatley, one party is devastated over the loss. The other party doesn't even know what's going on.

Punkin & Popcorn have broken up. After Punkin's appointment today, where I informed the doctor that Punkin's cough had returned after introducing him to the lovely treat, his allergist thought it would be best to go back to avoiding all "obvious" corns... which includes popcorn. Unfortunately, my gut was telling me the same thing. And you know a mom and her gut... you really shouldn't doubt it.

Afterwards, while driving home, I told Punkin that the allergist had said he couldn't have popcorn anymore. He was instantly sad. He asked why. I told him it was because his cough had returned. He countered that the cough was back because of his friend's cat (very smart of him, actually). He also said, "But I want to have popcorn every day when we go to the movies.". He's already made the correlation and knows that Movies and Popcorn go together. They just do.

He continued to be sad and pout. I told him it would be okay.

He instantly perked up.



Right after I handed him some cotton candy...
