.....m&m's=grandma memories

[jugglingguy]

So,I'm sitting at my computer, trying to get some work done, when I remember that I got a bag of m&m's the other day. So, I get them out of my drawer, tear open the one corner, pour some in my hand and eat the few from my hand. As I pour the next couple in my hand an application finally loads on my computer, so I need to free up my hands, so I lay the m&m's on the desk. As I do so, I have distince memories of m&m's at my Grandma Miller's house as a child. You see, she had this glass pitcher, with a cork on top, that she kept full of m&m's, and it would just sit in the middle of the island in the kitchen, or occasionally be put on a shelf to make more room. But when any of the kids were over, eventually we would be in the kitchen and we would each pour out some m&m's, but we didn't just eat the m&m's, we would usually seperate them into piles based on colors, and make shapes or pictures with them. Then, we would slowly eat our creations.

Wow, I can't believe that just settind some m&m's on my desk could bring such distinct memories.
