Ouch...it's Laffy Taffy Time!



I've been meaning to post these pics for awhile but keep forgetting! Shawnee went on a 4th year overnight hike with the YW in the ward at the end of June. Most "normal" people roast smores on a fire---but Shawnee and the YW usually roast Starbursts. If you do it JUST right---they are still hard around the outside and soft in the middle. Well, apparently they were OUT of Starbursts---so Shawnee decided to try roasting Laffy Taffy over the fire. It fell on her finger and burned it pretty good. She says that NOW she has a scar just like the one *I* did to her.



When Shawnee was about 3-4 months old we owned a pellet stove. One day I had her on my hip and I went over to the pellet stove to push the pellets down into the hopper better. When I leaned over, her hand fell on the stove. Even though it was just a second---she has a little scar today on that finger. I guess I never told her that story when she got older (I forgot?) and she always wondered how she had gotten that scar when she ran across that story in her baby book and it all made sense. Some things I'd like to stay forgotten.........ya know? At least she inflicted this latest wound on her self---but ouch---it looks sore!
