What we mothers must suffer for our children.

We have been enjoying Cuties since before Christmas.

Cuties are, as their website puts it, Mandarin oranges that are super sweet, easy-to-peel, seedless, and kid sized.

Last week I ran out of Cuties and swung by the grocery store to pick up another bag.  But they were out!  No biggie, I thought.  I'll just grab a bag of tangerines.

The next day, I sent one to school with each of them as usual.  When they got home, they both started in on me.

"Were those Cuties? I don't think those are Cuties?  The one you sent me had SEEDS in it!  Those things aren't as sweet as the Cuties."

Message received. 

The next day, I went to Wal-Mart and stocked up on Cuties for the kids.

So guess who's been eating old-fashioned, seeded, not-as-sweet, tangerines?
