The Bread Truck and Polar Bears

Okay, so here are two pretty funny stories:

THE BREAD TRUCK -

We went to breakfast at the local cafe on Saturday. As we were leaving the bread delivery was coming and the truck was parked with the back roll up door open. As we walked up to our car Akins says "Wow, Mommy look". "Yeah, honey it's a bread truck, do you want to look at it"? So, we go over and look in the back of the truck and Akins says "Sandwiches"! I said "Yeah, the bread truck brings the bread to Sam (the owner of the cafe) and then Sam uses the bread to make sandwiches. Pretty cool huh"? Then he wants to look at the front of the truck which has those sliding doors that you can leave open when you drive. Akins checks it all out and then says "Mommy, I like that truck".

Now a lot of little boys might like this truck, but a little boy who has been deprived of food and who continues to have some food issues like insisting that we take even the oddest of foods home with us in a to go box - like pancakes - no one gets their pancakes to go, well, no one except for us. That little boy REALLY likes the bread truck!

POLAR BEARS -

Most of you have probably heard of that group that seems to be largely comprised of elderly folks who go swimming in the coldest of waters. I mean really cold with ice floating in it for example. This group is called the Polar Bears. Well, I am pretty certain that Akins is warming up (no pun intended) for his membership to that club one day, as he went swmming today in the pool which is registering 70 degrees and he insisted it was warm. One future Polar Bear in the making! Brrrrr! He tried to get Grandma to go but she was not having any of it.
