My children have designed a food line !

Oh, children....
I had to take my children to the eye wear shop today, to have daughter's glasses reset. Because we left straight from the school, I packed a small snack for them to eat in the car. character gummies. Toy story for son, pixies for daughter.

Daughter declares she's going to make food products for people who are really faithful.
" mama, you know the people who REALLY, REALLY believe in God, and go to church every time they have it? I'm going to make special gummies just for them! one will be Jesus, and the star, and um, Mary, and the 3 kings... "

Nativity Gummies. ok, pretty creative sis.

Son speaks up with his own idea- "Jesus suckers ! they'll look just like Jesus mama! then you have to bite His head off!"

oh... oh now, I dunno if we should allow this to continue, but the riotous laughter from the backseat demanded more.

When we arrived at the eye wear shop- I realized that they have bible quotes in their signs, and it may not be a good idea to allow this "food line" to be exposed in the shop. So I explain to the children, " yes, its silly, yes, its funny, but we all need to stop now, because the people in the store may take offense."
yes mama...

too easy.

While Daughter's glasses were being reset, Son asks if I can pick him up, he wants to see what's behind the counter.
I do, and he spots a big decorative cross on the wall.

He leans in really close,
and in the lightest whisper he possibly can, he says
" look at that Jesus cross mama- its Jeezy Cheezy! "

OH NO!! he started uncontrollably giggling, which of course got me giggling too.

When we got back into the truck, Daughter, of course wanted to know what we were giggling about, and we told her.
more laughter...

They also designed "Jesus Crackers" for communion masses- which are shaped like and have the face of Jesus on them. . . . in color.

Of course, no food line would be complete without chocolate bars- so, my children decided, that, similar to the solid chocolate bunnies at easter, they would have solid chocolate nativity characters.

My daughter , always thinking of healthy foods, said she would grow cherries, and sell them super special.

This, I didn't not understand, Cherry Jesus?

"no mama, Mary is special too, but she'd want everyone to eat fruits, so I'll sell Mary cherries!"
(the first thought was "mary-chino" cherries - the second was a bit more , well , child unfriendly)
OH did I laugh!


With all due respect, it was one of our more amusing creative sessions- and if you want to take offense, think about this- the products they sell for children's snacks have their favorite characters on them- it only made sense to my children to have Jesus Food for people of high faith. Everyone has a favorite ,right?

Yea. another giggly day here at the Nuthouse for sure!
