Cracker Jacks

there is a craving in my heart an anticipation that keeps me going propulses me to greet each morning with the same excitement and childlike hope as when I'd open that new box of Cracker Jacks AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Posted on November 5, 2019

I would have thought your grand-father might have talked about it to you - I would have never guessed it would be firsthand reminiscing, George. LOL

Yes! I notice these days the prize in Cracker Jacks is usually a cheap kid tattoo. Is nothing sacred anymore? :)

LOL similar feeling as unfolding the comic strip in the bazooka bubble gum.

Yup - just like every day... there's always a prize somewhere even if it's just a special smile.
