Snickers the Same Today as He was 20+ Years Ago... Wednesday, January 23

I felt like I needed a major detox from all the beans and tofu I ate at the camp.  The only bean I care to indulge in from here on out is a coffee bean, seriously!!!  My system felt so out of whack from the lack of veggies and meat so Snickers and his cousin Brooklyn treated me to excessive amounts of veggies and chicken.  Usually I’m not a fan of buffets.  All that open food seems kind of dirty to me, well that and I can’t justify paying a big price for the small plate of food I eat.  I don't eat three main meals, I stick to my 6 smaller meals and so heading to a buffet seems like a waste for me to go.  Tonight’s buffet was $30 a person.  I think I must have eaten about that in chicken alone however… yikes.

Auntie Almond and Auntie Hansol (Brooklyn’s mom) got word that we were out their way so they insisted we come for a quick visit after we tended to a meeting we had, so that’s what we did.  Auntie Almond works at a chocolate factory so she’s always trying to stuff chocolates and almonds in my pocket.  Whereas Auntie Hansol, she owns her own corner shop, so visiting her is always accompanied by her insisting we take anything and everything we want from her store shelves.  And both Auntie Almond and Auntie Hansol are K-Gere’s sisters (Snickers’ aunts).  I left with only a mocha-flavoured Kit Kat in my pocket – talk about fighting the peer pressure though, woozers.

The other day Brooklyn had come across some aged-old family videos, dating some 20 plus years back, so he eagerly wanted to show us some clips.  Low and behold, what should pop up on the screen but an overly-hyper cute little boy and his grandfather – Snickers and the deceased Grandpa Kim.  Granny Kim was in the video too.  She sported the same smiley face and giggle but her body looked so strong, as did Grandpa Kim’s body.  I was so fixated on watching Snickers though.  He’s jumped in and out of the video shots, dancing and singing.  There was this one scene where his younger cousin insisted on using the microphone he was singing with.  She continually grabbed at him and at one point even hit him.  And Snickers, in his true mischievous nature, gave the microphone to her to use when his uncle told him too, only after unplugging it though.

It was so wild to see Snickers in the video.  He was a skinny little kid but he sported the carefree attitude and sarcastic humor that he still to this day sports.  You could totally tell it was him; it was amazing.
