Farmers market

By Stasha | Published June 14, 2012

Not much happens in our town. Which is a good thing.

So when weather gets warmer and farmers market starts every Thursday, we are all there! True, we are talking about less then 20 stands of local produce and crafts, but to us it is a pretty happening place.

I met my neighbor there last week. We perused for a bit, but most of our favorite vendors were not there. Frankly there was nothing we needed. She headed home and Little J and I decided to walk around one more time.

He asked me for a hod dog. I told him I have $5 on me. I handed him the money and said he can spend it any way he wants.

We walked over to the food stand, but they did not have hot dogs. Left with five dollars he wanted to look around.

So we walked.

First stop KettleCorn.

Little J: How much is it mommy?

Me: $3 for a small bag, $5 for a big bag.

Little J: I think small is enough. What do you think?

Me: Yep. Small will do.

He waited in line, walked up, ordered his popcorn and paid.

Little J: I still have two dollars left. Let’s walk around again.

I teased him if he wanted to buy some carrots.

Little J: No mommy, we grow those at home. I am thinking about a cookie.

He walks up to a lady at the cookie stand.

Little J: One chocolate chip cookie please.

Cookie lady: Sure. One dollar please.

Little J: Do you have any healthy ones? With nuts?

Cookie lady: How about this one. Oat meal with walnuts.

Little J: Is it one dollar too?

Cookie lady: Yes, all cookies are a dollar.

Little J: Here you go. That one is for my mommy.

My son spend his last dollar on me. And it was delicious.

    Sweetie, you made me cry again! I can’t stop reading your posts, but you get me in the heart every time! Which is a good thing! All I can say is, you’re doing such a good job of raising your son, and remember these times ! Keep them in your heart, because a day will come when you won’t know who that crazy teenager is-certainly not the son I raised!! That part will only last a few years, in varying degrees, but remembering times like these will get you through it! Thank you again for your lovely-and moving-writing!!

    Kettle corn. You (or rather, Little J) had me at kettle corn. He’s a peach. And you remind me of how much I miss our farmer’s market in NYC (Yes, I know “farmer’s market” is not the first thought that comes to mind when you hear NYC)…it’s one of the things I’m looking forward to when we visit there next month. Mmm….

    First of all am blown away that he would volunteer that the small kettle corn would be enough. And then to ask for a cookie that is healthy? Too cute.
