Admissions

OK, here goes. . .

I am fascinated by the First Family. I am fascinated by my fascination with them. And I am also fascinated by how many other people seem to share my fascination. Why does everybody care so much about the minute details of their lives? Why do I care so much?

Case in point: this post about the presidential snack {which is also the source of the picture below}.


It really cracks me up that this is public knowledge. Silly, don't you think? I mean, how does this information get leaked?

Yet when I read this, I admit that I was rather pleased to learn that I'm not the only one that eats "preschool snacks" every afternoon. You know ~ a balanced pairing of the simplest of finger foods. If the President does it, then surely it can't be that weird.

Here are a few of my favorites afternoon snacks:

• almonds and orange slices
• cheese and crackers
• apple slices with peanut butter

Just like preschool, right? And now I can't help but wonder if the President likes these combinations, too. Maybe it'll be in his next press release. I know it's not the State of the Union Address, but apparently these things are important.
