Since our last trip to the library, I have been reading Who Needs Donuts? almost obsessively.
Every morning on our way to school, we pass by a family owned donut shop. On sunny mornings, they have a dancing donut outside. The donut shop is painted a cheerful blue and features a mural of a police car. (classic)
I had decided that I must try donuts. It took a great deal of coordinating but I woke up extra early yesterday and sped through my morning routine so we could visit the donut shop en route to school. (Yes, shhhhhhhhh, I know I committed a cardinal Montessori sin and ate sugar before school.)
No one can recall for certain but it seems I had never ever tried donuts. My mom had been to this donut shop before and had probably since spent a bit too much time talking/thinking about it. I was taken in by all of the colors. My initial choice was a donut with pink frosting and rainbow sprinkles. good choice. At the last second, I changed my mind and ordered a mint chocolate chip donut. Although my mom knew that I wouldn't like the minty frosting, she did not intervene. The only time she alters my order is when I try to make a request for a latte. It was no surprise that I did not like the minty donut. We left the donut shop and, thankfully, I had my snack bag full of the usual healthy offerings and my cup of soymilk to fill my tummy.
We will have to try this again one day. Next time, the pink donut it is!
