Charlie's Memoir #1

It is interesting how memories of food help to solidify different other memories. When I was a kid, for instance, I’d go grocery shopping with my Mom. Going through the baby food aisle, I would sometimes grab a jar of Gerber’s custard and put it in her cart. She’d look at me and grin, but let me keep it. Even as a teen, I loved the baby food custard. Today, if I walk down the aisle where the baby food is, I relive the memories of Mom; occasionally, as an older man, I buy a bottle of Gerber’s custard. It is not nearly as good today, but the memories evoked are real good.
