early sorrow

it was the best of easters, it was the worst of easters. i was ten. i got the biggest egg i'd ever had. it was the size of a football. it was carob. the end.

Good for making you regular.

Maybe too regular if it was the size of a futbol.

I can't tell you how much this made me laugh. I too have had mishaps with carob but not, I think, at such a tender age. What a profound disappointment!

And if I were in Napa, I probably couldn't say, given that California wine countries (napa or not) are so small and given that I've been writing about male persons who, if they were enterprising with the ol' google search engine, could find me and recognize themselves quite easily ... It's a problem.

You totally got gipped! Nothing worse than FAKE chocolate.

carob. -shudders- at least no one tried to fob it off on you by saying it was chocolate. betrayed by my own mother!

what are our disappointments and disasters but to make others laugh? whoop it up, a&v.

i wouldn't care if carob caused all known diseases. it wasn't chocolate. it tastes vile.
