So today I’m at the grocery store and realize that Quisp has made a comeback. Interesting. I mean, I used to love this stuff, which is basically flat sugary disks that taste like Cap’n Crunch. Still, it took me back to my great-granny’s house. There was always a box in her kitchen, which you had to get to through a dark room in which a life-size little girl doll sat in a rocking chair in the corner. Staring at you the whole time.
This has an effect on a four year old.
While memories of goosebumps past roll through my mind, I snap a quick picture of the box with my phone. A phone not hard-wired to the wall, beside a little table with a dedicated gossip stool. A phone which is also a camera. And a few other things.
Yes, I’ve become one of those people who realize just how much things have changed in my lifetime. One of those people who wonder what the four year olds of today will be nostalgic about in forty-four years and how they’ll document it.
No deep thoughts here, just observations of the worlds inside and outside my head.
Off to eat homemade lasagna. FAR better than Quisp
Quisp? Where!?!? The companion cereal was called Quake
Food City, the local chain. Check your local purveyor of fine comestibles!
Memories of spaghetti dinners and dungeons and dragons at John’s house.
I never tried the cereal however I do or did love me some Captn Crunch.
It is possible in 44 yrs we will be alive to witness what today’s 4 year olds will ponder and how they document it but will we be sane enough to realize? Lol
