I made wontons last weekend. Pork wontons.
I put little spoonfuls of delicious, pungent, gingery filling into the squares and folded them the closest I could to the way people fold them in restaurants.
Edie came in from the outside, dirty, barefooted and hair falling in her eyes. I pulled her up onto the counter so she could see me working the dough on the wooden board, carefully covering the little parcels of meat.
She looked at my wontons, my lovely handi-work, things made of love from my own hands and said, "I can't eat those. They look like vaginas...And we don't eat vaginas."
Not. Saying. Another. Word.

ReplyDeleteThe whole wonton eating experience - changed.

ReplyDeleteLOL - that's hysterical. I wonder if there are any statistics that more men eat wontons than women?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the picture of her in this blog is adorable - she's got such an angel face.

ReplyDeleteI wonder about the day that will come when she puts two and two together, maybe remembering the pork wonton incident and realize what she really said. And if that's the case, I hope she shares that laugh with you.
ReplyDeleteShe is so stinkin' cute......
That's hysterical Kim. Guess what everyone who reads this blog will be thinking about the next time they see a wonton??????
