Peaches are in season in San Diego right now and I can barely believe it because it is the beginning of October. I love peaches from the fuzzy outside to the juicy inside. Yummy!
They are so great I purchased 6 lbs last week knowing my family would eat them quickly. I hadn’t realized how quickly until last Thursday morning. About 5:20 a.m. I was woken to a thud followed by a patter patter patter. Stop, no sound for a minute. Then a crinkle, patter, patter, patter directly into my bedroom on my side of the bed. I then felt a little boy, my little boy, climbing into bed and settling in very still with his head at my feet and feet at my head to go back to sleep. Nothing was all that unusual so I closed my eyes to go back to sleep.
Then I heard… slurp smack smack smack, slurp smack smack smack, slurp smack smack smack. I reached down and felt a peach in my son’s little hands. Trying not to laugh because 5:20a.m. is way to early to be getting up in our household, I gently removed the peach from his hands and we fell back asleep.
I will forever laugh about my little 2 year old waking at 5:20 a.m. to a peach craving, remembering where mama had put them and not wanting to eat it alone he brought the peach to bed. It was a long journey from his 1st taste of peach one year ago, which he quickly turned down for the venison stew waiting on his plate.
Do you have a funny food story of your own you would like to share?
Thanks for the share!
