Linda Hill is our host for the SoCS challenge and this week our prompt is “spoonful.” According to Mary Poppins, a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. Sounds good.

Back to my #SoCS response for the word spoonful…

It is ironic how I read spoonful was the word for this week and thought of the phrase, “a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down.” That was the very subject you talked about in your blog post.

Talking about medicine, I used to beg my mom to let me sip it. I could not handle full fledge cough syrup. To this day, it takes me a couple of gulps to get medicine down. It would take a lot to convince me to think sugar would in any way help that godforsaken mess tasting like alcohol stuff.

Anyway. It is what it is…

Until Next Time,
