Stringing Popcorn

We strung popcorn this week.  Cody sat beside me and gave narrative all through his stringing, “Revenge of the needle…” and so on and so on.  This struck me funny because I used to imagine I was sewing pants for my family when I strung popcorn as a child.  I assume that’s the difference between boys and girls.  I imagine, though, somewhere there is a young girl stringing popcorn pretending to be a doctor sewing up a patient after open heart surgery.  Maybe.  Such a simple thing but always seems to bring out so much imagination.
