...how much adults continue to act like children. For example, I have interacted with many children with behavioral problems as a result of their immediate surroundings. This sounds like something negative happened to the child, but that isn't always true,
at least that is our perception. They could have a new baby sibling or an older brother or sister could have started school. Regardless, when a child is caught up in change, sometimes their little hearts and brains struggle with digesting all the new stimuli and it manifests itself in tantrums, defiance, disobedience, etc. You want to know the interesting thing? Adults act out this way too... I know I'm guilty. Oh, goodness, we never grow up.
During our jam session, G'Pa provided the music, intermittent Spanish lyrics of songs I didn't recognize.
Well, making jam is easier than I thought, as well as relatively mess free if you are as efficient as my sister. I love learning new things. Stuff like this is especially neat because it makes all those gradeschool science classes come to life and make more sense and it is functional too. My sister, who is quite science savvy, was a great teacher.
After four quarts of strawberries, a great stress reducing mash session, fourteen, yes, I said fourteen cups of sugar, boiling and adding pectin...17 and 1/2-8 ounce jars of strawberry jam.
We taste tested it, of course, and it tingled the taste buds! I'm intersted to see if they all sealed well and don't grow anything funky.
