magic in a quarter

I am realizing....

that there is magic in a quarter.

This mama has avoided the bubble gum phenomenon for a long time.

But lately, Henry is so intrigued.

And lately, we have been in places where these alluring machines take up residence...

causing every mother angst.

Do I?  or Don't I?

And lately, I have learned that 25 cents for a piece of bubble gum that they are done with in less than 15 minutes can sometimes put a hop in the step of my kiddos. 

And even I had to indulge and couldn't help but smile as I bit into my gumball. 

Life is short.  Summer is here.  

Bring on the gum machines!

There is magic in a quarter.
