Corn on the cob



People say some seriously corny things when they have children.  "Your life will never be the same again."  "It's the best thing I have ever done with my life."  If you asked me what my opinion was a year ago, my answer would have been : "Blah blah blah."

Because, until you taste it for yourself, this particular brand of corn is only yellow.  You cannot describe it in a different way than the pictures you have seen.  There is no truth or taste.  Sweetcorn, for instance, has a delicious moreish burst in the mouth.  But it leaves you with annoying skins in your teeth.

The latter part is not advertised on the packaging.  In the same way (maybe I am extra tired tonight), the goos and gaas are advertised more often than the sleepless nights.  Take a nappy ad for instance.  You only see happy babies.  You never see the potential contents of said nappies.  Because then no one in their right mind would make the purchase.  Except for those who have actually seen the contents.

And that is the beauty of it.  Your life will never be the same.  And it will be the best thing you have ever done or tasted.  Because, even though there will be skins in your teeth; The yellow bursts will make it all so worth it.
