Award-Winning Books, School Visits, and Workshops
Today Kaiya asked for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. After rummaging in the fridge for a minute, I said, “I can’t believe we’re entirely out of jelly.”
Ethan said, “Well, we can always find an alien species and smush it up to make jelly.”
Me: “Wouldn’t it be easier to go to the store than into outer space to capture an alien?”
Ethan: “I meant an alien species, like guava. They’re not native to Hawaii, you know.”
Elyse and I laughed for a good five minutes.

That’s pretty funny!
Ethan is very clever. I like this and I love guava jelly. A smashed up guava nectar fruit, not so much. That has got to be the most rotten smell out there…even worse than rotten eggs!
