Expeditions in the South East: The Chili

Our friends made a go at a garden this year.

One of thier crops was some chili peppers.

Well, one of those pretty little peppers was sitting on the deck table one afternoon.

It was with a small handful of greenish tomato babies.

Austin took it in his head to taste the tomatoes and one by one he took a bite and discarded it.

(I'm sure you can see where this is going.)
He picked up THIS pepper,

took an nice bite

and looked absolutely shocked.

The tears and struggles that ensued were sad and hilarious all at the same time.

He couldn't understand why his tounge was on FIRE,

nor why mom's remedies weren't quick-fixes like a kiss on a boo-boo.

Poor kid, I hope he learned a bit of a lesson.
