Tasty Treats

This is a kind of magic for children: take two delicious things and mix them. It feels so decadent, even if you just take half of each one. Dip a candy bar in marshmallow fluff. Put maple syrup on ice cream.

There is a joy in combining two things you already like. I don’t want that much sugar in my own body, but I’ll put potato chips on a sandwich. Or, you know, watch a great movie with a great friend, or read a great book while enjoying a beautiful day.

Put two joyous things together and it creates a whole new one. New wonders around every corner.
