Dirt Dessert

Ashley chose the treat to be made yesterday – Dirt Dessert.

She thought she was all that as we set up all of the different layers that the kids could choose for their dessert cups.  We crushed graham crackers, Oreos, and nuts.  We had chocolate pudding and a whip cream filling.  The kids went to town making their own dessert for dinner.  I smiled as they were putting them in the fridge and freaking out that someone might get theirs.

Each put that top layer of crushed Oreos and then ONE gummy worm sticking out.  I then saw Ashley’s, and of course was in her face for having so many worms.

“Mom, they are having a family reunion.  One worm would be so bored without all of his family.”

I smiled at her quickness, as the other kids started freaking out that she was cheating.  I actually let her KEEP the ten worms because she explained her reasoning for them so quickly.  I didn’t let the other kids have any more worms, but instead keep their one worm. 

It pays to be creative and to not copy all of the others, especially with good reasoning.  :)
