When He Starts Therapy, He Will Be Glad This Story Is On The Internet So He Can Just Hand His Shrink The Link

I am walking up the stairs of my classroom (half a lecture hall with student desks on three levels and my desk at the bottom) to the door when a normally quiet kid looks at me with big shiny eyes and a sugar stained mouth.

"Ms. Educat, guess what!? I discovered taffy this weekend at the
Fair!!"

"It's lifechanging, isn't it? I know, I've traveled the Ozarks."

(Seriously huge, infectious smile on the kid) "Yeah."


Welcome to serious food problems, darling boy.

Heaven help him if he ever gets his hands on peanut brittle from Juanita's Candy Kitchen in Arkadelphia, Arkansas. He'll never be the same.
