Mama and Baby discuss important life lessons in "The Very Hungry Caterpiller" such as . . . "Strawberries are really good" and "Don't eat salami, cake, pickles, and a lollipop in the same meal."
I never appreciated before just how wise The Very Hungry Caterpillar is. (Although, truth be told, I think the meal would be fine if you stuck with just the cake, pickles and lollipop. Who wants salami anyway?)
Actually, I think it was the pickle/lollipop combination that sent him over the edge. The salami was an essential component -you can't have all carbs and no protein, after all.
Kim, I remember you Mom reading that book to you! It was a favorite of yours.
