a kiss from heaven

It started as an innocent curiosity. What are those shiny colorful objects in that bowl? Then came the sorting. Five out of the bowl, five in the bowl. Eight out of the bowl. Eight back in the bowl. After that, was a detailed inspection punctuated with odd grunting noises. Roll it around the fingers, a little sniff, "enggggh" remove paper tag "enngggh" and gently push back pretty blue wrapping. Hey, what is this brown substance beneath the paper? Sniff again. "Mmmmmm." With slightly more aggression, remove foil wrapping. Hmmmm, more brown substance.

Finally, the words that forever changed his world: "Here, let me break the tiny tip off and let you have a taste."

Somebody just smack me upside the head.
