National Junk Food Day 2021

Me: Happy Junk Food Day.

Nichole: Good. I had Nerds for breakfast.

 

Are you familiar with Cocomelon? It's for little kids. It's animated. They have lots of songs, nursery rhyme songs, and songs based on those tunes. Go do a search for it on YouTube. 

Cocomelon has become a thing in my home with my toddler and my older kids of course will watch with him. Sometimes they just watch and sometimes they will point out how certain things are not entirely accurate or mistakes that were made. That's what happens when older kids watch little kid shows.

Anyway... one of the songs is about how Mommy or Daddy sneak to the kitchen in the middle of the night to eat junk food and the other parent catches them. The things they eat are pizza, ice cream, donuts, and candy. Finally the kids catch both parents in the kitchen eating junk food so they all eat carrots together at the end.

Of course my family is creative in celebrating so the kids suggested for National Junk Food Day on July 21 that we eat all the things from that video. We ate some of them but not all. I did make edible playdough to go along with a board game we played as a family that evening. We needed something for sculpting.

Creativity is fun. Family time is fun.
