Children of the Corn

Yes, if you know me well, you know that I occasionally call my children: Children of the corn. I know there is some scary movie with this title, and that is about all that I know. I have never seen the movie and I don't know why this phrase sticks in my mind. I usually say it when I need the girls to go somewhere with me and, of course, I have made up a little tune that goes with it. However, the reason for this post is this. Last weekend when we went grocery shopping, Steve picked up some corn (still in the husk). It was on sale for $.25 and we love corn. As he was shucking it (I think that is how you spell that), Abby came up and said: "Dad! There's corn in there!" We just started laughing and explained to her that this is how corn comes. She has seen it on the cob before, but never still in the husk. They got SO excited and helped us shuck them and boil them, and of course, eat them!
