This is really boring but…
…I ordered replacements for some “Mexican” glasses I began buying before I was married.
Once upon a time, I was in Kitchen Port down at Kerrytown with the Twinz of Terror. I dunno what I was buying but I was in line behind the UU and he was buying a couple of glasses that matched mine. When I asked why he was buying them, he said he was buying them for his sister-in-law. I wondered which sister-in-law. It wouldn’t be me because we weren’t married? Little did I know, it WAS MEEEEE. I dunno if the GG had told his twin of his intentions or if the UU had kinda guessed it.
I loved these glasses but when we gutted the Landfill Chitchen, I kinda wanted to change things up a bit.
I didn’t get rid of my old glasses because the beach urchins were horrified about that idea. I bought a couple new sets of glasses. Turquoise from Crate and Barrel or somewhere and a rainbow set from Uncommon Goods. I think? Both of these were beautiful but they are just a bit large to fit my hands.
For complicated reasons, we started using the Mexican glasses for cocktails a while back. In the last week, I have moved them down to a more easily reached shelf and purchased a couple more on eBay.
Sharp-eyed beach urchins might notice that these are a bit different than the ones we already own. I did not notice this when I ordered them. It’s okay. They are close enough. By the way, if you have a blue-eyed two-year-old who has just pointed out a bird to you, do NOT tell her she has sharp eyes. She will retort with “Mama, I don’t have some sharp eyes, I have some blue ones!”

Kids are so literal-remember Amelia Bedelia? We loved her in our family. I like the sides of those glasses, very unusual looking.

We don’t mind large happy hour glasses, it’s when they’re too small it’s a problem.
Also D remembers a three year old student who brought in an instant oatmeal package because she did not like the cold cereals that the public schools served often for the breakfast program. So we just added hot water and, instant oatmeal! One day, this little girl was particularly hungry and got to the bottom of her bowl relatively quickly. She was exasperated and said, “my spoon is broke!“ The bowl was out of oatmeal.
