Fiametta comes with Daddy to help do some Costco shopping. We need 4 quick things but Fiametta can pick out a treat. Right past the clothes and grass seed but before the cheese Fiametta lays her eyes on a colorful collection of Macarons. Daddy pays it no mind the way she calmly studies them intently and after Daddy gently exclaimed that those things are a trap. Half way through the trip later my amazingly well behaved and uncharacteristically quiet daughter starts asking questions. Daddy why are they a trap? What happens. I was still distracted with trying to shop on Memorial Day weekend so I tell her how macarons are just a trick. They look like some amazing great cookie, but then when you buy them they are nothing but junk and they taste nothing like what they look like. So she asks nicely if she can trade in this trap for Sorbets with a proven track record. Of course. Well when we get home an utterly flabbergasted Fiametta stops Mommy in her tracks by teaching her what she has learned and narrowly avoided. “Mommy!!!! Macarons are just a trap.” Mommy inquisitively asks her to continue on what she learned while out with Daddy. “Oh Mommy there are these macarons that look like they are treats but its just a trick, they are nothing but JUNK.” Daddy expected to draw ire from his daughters new teachings but to his surprise Mommy, with quite the enthusiasm agrees and goes Yeah They Are A Trap. Oh well that seals it, anyone who has seen Fiametta since the shopping trip has gotten a firm lesson on how Costco has these Macarons that are nothing but a junk trap dressed up in the guise of a tasty colorful good looking treat. This most important finding may be taught for years to come based on the urgency she’s been spreading the news to anyone who crosses her path.
