i don't need any of them .... i walk into a bakery or store and i gain 5 pounds from the smell and my doctor and family give me h@!! . if i eat one i can't stop till the box is gone and i've put on 20 pounds !!! LOL !!!! kinda sad though all the people and things from our childhood slowly falling by the wayside for some reason or another . makes me wonder if and when all of us from those era's are gonna fade away and the new kids take over will they look and remember us or our " things" as fondly as we do .................... the world is changing and i don't much care for it . i think i'll go watch american graffiti and hollywood nights , and dazed and confused a few times and go into my minds eye and enjoy what is still there now ..............Name:  dreaming.jpeg

A man takes his young daughter to the barbershop with him, and buys her a Twinkie to eat while she waits for him to get his hair cut.

The little girl stands close to the barber watching how he cuts her dad's hair, getting in the way several times.

Finally the barber says "You better be careful, you're going to get hair on your Twinkie."

The little girl replies "I know, and mommy says someday I'll have boobies, too."
