The Things You Learn on Missions: How to Eat York Peppermint Patties!
When
I was in high school we’d go “sparking” after dances. It was all big
talk, like we were off to do something naughty. In reality, we’d take
rolls of CERTS breath mints, go into a dark place and bite them
with our back teeth. They’d make a flash of sparked light in your
mouth in the dark. That was it. Sparking.
Well, I’ve learned a new trick. Elder Archibald has taught me how to eat York Peppermint Patties. We keep a stash of candies in our kitchen drawers for the missionaries. The York patties are the favorites right now (caramels and Starburst disappear pretty fast too).
So, did you know that if you break a peppermint patty right next to your ear, you can hear it sigh?? Yep. It makes a delightful sound that will make you smile. Try it. We are getting so smart here in Yakima!
