We'd just had a really great day at the zoo and now sat around a small round table, a plate of funnel cake between us.
As Aunt Valerie took off to find the ladies' room, Hannah and I started to discuss our favorite Mole characters..
"Kristen's my favorite," Hannah quickly surmised.
"Well, I like Mark, but I also like Paul… and Victoria and Alex and…," exasperated I just concluded that I liked them all, which is usually how it always ended.
Suddenly, we were surrounded by what looked to be a whole mess of kids. There had to be at least twenty! A rope hung taut between them, connecting each child together. All I could seem to think about was how the kids in "Children of the Corn" took over.
I think I was scared.
Scratch that, I was totally freaked out.
Wait! In the midst of all those sticky faces and chocolate smiles, stood a woman. Maybe she was there to save us? As she got closer, though, I began to have my doubts. By the time she reached our table I was trembling from head to toe.
She leaned in closer.. Closer…
"Presto, Change-o, You didn't eat your Mango!!"
All of the children started laughing and the entire group began to move away, towards the exit.
I could still hear the eerie laughter when Aunt Valerie sat back down.
"That was Marcie Ciscel from The Mole," she pointed out, then proceeded to stuff her face with the crispy crustiness and powdery sugared goodness that had already started to cool.
