Health Benefits Of A Cheese Noodle

A brilliant little tidbit from my eldest son,
Jackson, who will be four this November,
set me laughing
and then wondering about the health benefits of cheez doodles,
in this case the organic version from Wild Oats,
which tastes much more like cheese,
with the still satisfying crunch of the original,
without the puffiness or as much finger staining,
and as my Jax munched happily
on his orange snack sticks in his blue melamine bowl
while I typed on my all too small little laptop,
trying hard not to hit more than one key at a time,
he looks at me coughing just a little bit,
which is why we were both home together today,
he was sick and couldn't go to school,
and he looks me right in the eyes and says,

Mom, cheez noodles made my cough go away.

Did they? How'd they do that, I asked him?

Ya, they made me all better because there is air in them.

Believe it or not, this is the first time I saw this blog. I thought you stopped blogging after the poem about the ocean. Wish you would start again - I enjoy your words and photos. And I won't take 3 years to comment! Love, mom
