My kids think I’m old enough to remember the start of the universe.
I tell them that yes, I once swam in the primordial soup.
It was kind of thick and smelly.
I saw the gas and dust collide to form planets. I witnessed the first thunderstorm.
And yes, I had a pet dinosaur. His name was Bronco Nagurski.
It’s kind of charming when my kids ask “What was it like to see life crawl out of the ocean?”
Ever the teacher, I respond: “You’re grounded.”
My kids ask me how these strange creatures climbed out of the ooze.
Frankly, I have no good explanation.
To make up for it, I tell them what it was like when Daddy first discovered fire.
Personally, I liked watching Daddy fight off the other men who wanted to steal our fire.
My husband looked so hot! Get it? Hot? Bwah ha ha ha ha.
All joking aside, I knew exactly when mankind’s intellect leapt to greatness.
It was precisely the moment when a harried, sleep-deprived mother came up with this:
I believe she lifted the S’more into the air and said, “Dinner’s ready!”

That is the most perfect comeback I can imagine! (Also, that is a very perfect-looking s’more!)

Mmmmm! A s’more would taste great right about now. We, here, just to your south, just cleared the first 4″ of snow and are looking toward another 8-12 this evening. Yes, a whole plate of s’mores might warm the tummy!!

Oh, I want some s’mores.
Now that is my kind of dinner.
Perfect.
Although if my son saw this he would want to move in with you and have s’mores for dinner forever.

Oh, Lynn, I LOVE the pics of the night sky & the fire. I’m particularly interested in what settings you used for the night sky—would you share? If you recall, I have the same Canon you do. Oh, & loved your story too

Never had a smore in my life… But it sure looks good. I know it from the Sandlot Kids. They had smores. It’s un unknown thing in Belgium… No smores. ;o))) Love the photograph of the headless geese (or is it goose? Drats…)

Ha ha! Thank you for the laugh! I needed that. I was feeling old enough today, to have, well, hired someone to invent fire for me. x
Have a look in the mirror – you’re a young thing:)) so the start of the universe is alien to you!!!
Please may I have smore, worth a try, I think!
