The Berry

If you give a kid a [Straw]berry

He thinks he's won a prize.

He gently bites into it...

Oh forget it. I can't make any more rhymes!

Look at that dang cute face!!

And those ears....poor kid. He got Daddy's ears! ;)

This is why I told Daddy we don't buy Strawberries out of season -- they just aren't as sweet!
