Dad sighed.
She wanted to take the popcorn into the car.
He knew what this meant: there would be popcorn EVERYWHERE.
Somehow that little person can make more of a mess in less time than a fully grown gorilla. She might smell nicer, but the differences end there sometimes.
Some Dads might put their foot down and say no food in the car but it was a family car and families are messy and not a photo in a brochure.
Besides, popcorn is a dry mess for the most part compared to something else – like oranges or sticky candy so he figured it could be worse.
Besides, a day from now the popcorn will be vacuumed up and the mess forgotten
But her memories of popcorn in the car with Dad could last a lifetime.
