Summary: How can cotton be candy?
09: Cotton
"Go ask your daddy how cotton can be candy," Leslie whispered to her daughter. She caught the girl’s ice cream before it could spill everywhere and sent her after Frank.
"Daddy! Daddy!"
Frank scooped the five-year-old up and balanced her on his hip. "What’s up, Sunbeam?"
"Um, um, how can cotton be candy?"
Frank blushed and scowled at his wife. "It’s not really cotton. It’s spun sugar. But it looks like cotton. Here. Go ride the carousel again."
She ran over and jumped on the unicorn’s back.
Leslie came up behind him and grabbed his hand.
"Ugh. Why didn’t you just say, ‘Oh, Karolina, Mommy and Daddy are aliens?’" he growled.
She leaned on his shoulder. "I always thought it was cute."
Frank rolled his eyes and made a disgusted noise and watched Karolina on the carousel.
