Sophie got her first taste of a yummy twinkie today and I can honestly say that it went well...a little too well. Her first bite, she slowly nibbled at the outer cake part of the twinkie and then it happened....she got a tiny taste of the creamy filling. She looked up at me and then back down at the twinkie as if to say..."could this be....heaven mommy?"In a blink of an eye the frenzy began. The next thing we knew she had the white filling surrounding her mouth with it slowly encroaching upon her nose like huge waves coming ashore. Sophie looked like one of the "got milk?" commercials except it would have been called "got twinkie?" I turned my back for a nanosecond and when I turned back to look at her again, the twinkie was gone and there stood my little-one with two humongous cheeks, slowly trying to chew through the entire twinkie which she had stuffed in her mouth.
She could not speak...she could not smile and she could barely chew. With her eyes closed, she courageously and with sheer perseverance, continued her quest to devour the entire twinkie in one big swoop as her father and I watched in horror. With an occasional peek to see if we had noticed her sequester of the entire twinkie from its now shredded package (how could we not), she continued to fight the good fight until she reached her final swallow. Slowly she opened her eyes and quickly surveyed around the mouth with her tongue for any remnants of the twinkie's delight before lifting her big bright smiling brown eyes and exclaiming "hmmmmmmm....more!"
