The rain was gone, and the kids wanted s’mores.
“No way,” I called back on the drive home. “Wood’s wet.”
“S’mores, s’mores, s’mores,” came the raucous call from the backseat.
Pulling in the drive I said, “go in. Get ready. I’ll start the fire.” I winked at my wife. There was a little dry kindling hid back. Maybe I could get something going. She smiled back.
They cheered. Then I did my Big Bad Wolf impression, huffing and puffing until a tendril of smoke burst to flame. Extremely proud, I called up to the house.
“Quiet. You’ll wake the kids.”

My mother used to make all the fun stuff to eat after we went to bed. It was always disappointing upon waking next day to see the evidence of their snacking.
Well done, and thanks for the memory. 😀

Kids can wake up for s’mores. After so much effort, they must have a good enjoyable evening.

Until today I’d never heard of s’mores, but they’ve featured in several stories so they must be s’pecial!. Now I need to Google graham crackers!
