Brody and I visited a Mardi Gras super-store this weekend. It's one of those buildings you don't usually notice, except as of mid-January it has been adorned with gaudy gold and green decor. Upon entering you are greeted at the door to a warehouse style interior with walls lined with hundreds of specialty beads. Beads with dolphins, beads with hearts, beads with little zoo animals with springy legs and even beads with shot glasses attached. There is a mask section, with masks ranging in gaudiness and a goofy hat section. Then there is the "throws" area. Box after cardboard box of random things. I found a big box of giant pacifiers cleverly titled "giant pacifiers". I let Brody pick out a set of beads. He chose a green set with a foam ear on corn on it (there were also tomatoes and carrots, but he is a corn fan). With our purchase we got a free Moon Pie- peanut butter flavored. It was fabulous- Brody loved it!

What a great experience!
Dodger shares Brody's love of corn. He likes it so much that the highest compliment he pays is, "You are so corn!" Sounds like the Mardi Gras store is very corn, too.
