A PBS kids show called "Sid the Science Kid" inspired Aiden to ask for a popsicle.
Aiden: "Mom, do we have popsicles?"
Me: "As a matter of fact, yes, we do. In the fridge in the garage."
(Now, unless it's bottled water or Coke and it's in the garage fridge, you can bet that it's been in there for over 12 months.)
So here is the happy boy testing out his new-found food:
And a minute later, he laid it down on the tray. "Mom, I don't wike dis popswikle, Mom."
Me: "You don't?"
Aiden: "Uh, uh. May I bwee excwused?"
So I guess maybe even popsicles go bad after a while! Did I mention it was one of those, all natural kind? Maybe it didn't taste good to begin with!
