ahh, childhood as an adult

Several things have happened recently that have made me feel like a child.

One: I now have a bed that I can actually crawl under thanks to the joy of 7 in. risers. And crawl under it I have several times to arrange all my stuff neatly.

Two: As a child I thought it was hilarious to look up furniture stores in the yellow pages, call them, and ask, "What is your cheapest chair?" In retrospect, it was sort of pathetic how poorly the question was answered. Usually, something like, "Well we have a lot chairs, what specific kind were you looking for." Seriously, look at your catalogue listing and answer the question.
This has come up because I am looking to unload the cheapest chair at IKEA. IKEA's cheapest chair, one year used, with a large coffee stain: how much is that worth? Posted on craigslist under free for two days. One response, asking for a photo. Not to promising. Seriously, people: free. Soon it will be sitting on the street where hopefully someone will take it home. The cheapest chair, not even wanted for free.

Three: My whole like I coveted CapriSun drinks. The fun squishiness, the whole ordeal of putting the straw in the hole on top and not all the way through both sides of the pouch: it was so fun. My mother never bought them for me as a child because they were full of sweeteners, and they weren't real juice. As an adult I still coveted them, but I read labels, and they are full of corn syrup, which we all know is poison for kids and adults.
So today in Target while looking for snacks for the beach I spot HonestKids fruit pouches! My dream come true: real juice in foil looking squishy pouches. Because I was in a hurry and because it was freaking HonestKids I did not read the label as I usually do. Well, Honest my foot. They are full of organic cane sugar and water and organic flavors. Its not going to rot your teeth because its organic sugar? Ten percent juice: are they serious! I railed about this for some time in a loud voice, not exactly beach mood music, but I had something to say. But, just between you and me, they were pretty delicious. As Erin pointed out, each one has have the sugar and calories as regular "fruit drinks" so when I drank two it was like I was having a single traditional teeth rotter.
