Did you know that we live about a mile away from Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory? I tell you, we've lived here for five years now, and I didn't notice it until my very observant son pointed it out to me as we were driving past it this morning ;)
Before you think I've gone off the deep end ... allow me to explain! "Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory" is actually a very run down oil refinery about a mile from our house. It's not currently in operation (and hasn't been for years).
We were returning home after dropping Ashley off at her Drama Camp this morning, and as we passed the refinery, he points to it and asks, "Is that Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory?" And who was I to burst his little bubble, I ask. So like the responsible, loving mother I am, I said, "Wow! I think you're right! I never noticed that before." And he went on and on about how it functions, including the fact that the huge vats for oil are where they store the chocolate.
I am so going to miss these days of innocence :(
I think this is "scrap-worthy," as Ronalyn would say!
