To start, I must clarify something. I hate cherries. Could do without them permanently. I don't like them fresh, don't like cherry cheesecakes, and don't care for cherry flavored drinks. I do like chocolate covered cherries at Christmas. Or I should say I like the chocolate covered. I will bite open the chocolate and remove the cherry before eating it because in my eyes the cherry ruins the entire candy experience.
A couple of weeks ago, I stepped in dog doo. Yes, an astonishing fact considering I have three dogs but pertinent. That very same day, just before the mess, Hubby had picked up a new dispenser of toothpicks to take with him. After trying to clean my shoe with an old toothbrush, I asked him to give me a toothpick to finish the job. Instead of getting one out of the cabinet, he opened his package and then forgot said package on the counter when he left for the week. So the next day, when I noticed them, I let him know that he had left them.
"Oh, crap. Just don't use all of them cleaning dog doo out of your shoes."
"I'll just use them to eat your chocolate covered cherries."
"What?"
"Nothing. I didn't say a word."
"Yeah, uh huh."
Now this weekend, Hubby had to have a new box of candies because I ate four while he was gone (and left him with one sleeve). And I say Hubby needed a new box because honestly? I don't need an entire box of candy that I'm going to pick the center out of. He handed me one of the five that was left in the first box and of course I took a toothpick to it.
"Just eat the cherry."
"Krista!" Then I motioned for her to come my way and I gave her the cherry. "See. I ate the cherry."
"No you didn't."
"I did, too. Mini me ate it." He didn't say another word.

I looooooove fresh cherries. I craved them when I was pregnant...and of course they were out of season for a long time. But, I don't really like cherry flavored things. I don't like canned cherries and I hate chocolate covered cherries.
Darn it....I don't have a mini-me....I just have a mini-husband.
