National Toasted Marshmallow Day


Yes folks- that is today! Do you burn your's black or toast them brown? Any funny marshmallow related stories? Do you have a weird fear of the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man?? Oh- I know that I have gone beyond toasted marshmallows... but I think in fairness we can cover all of marshmallow-dom to day. This all started because K-Love brought it up this morning. A cub scout went on a camping trip, and his mom (single) went with him. She was the only mom there, and the youngster was not to please about this. That night while toasting marshmallows one of the kids started waving a flaming marshmallow around. It flew off the stick and it the mom *splat* square in the forehead. The marshmallow stuck fast- flames and all...needless to say the mom was an instant celebrity. The scouts had to give her first aid and she became the topic of conversation from that point on. Go marshmallows!

I wish you would have told me sooner. Now we have to have a belated celebration.

BusyMommy said...

Which means we are having marshmallows for dinner...

sounds good, just as long as you don't have chocolate granola bars for breakfast :)

Chris G said...

Well- I'd allow a S'mores granola bar in this case...
