“Kids were equipped with radar long before it went
commercial. They knew when there were bananas hidden behind the popcorn popper
in the pantry. They knew when there was a candy bar in the meat keeper in the
refrigerator. It was not possible for a leftover piece of pie to survive a
child in search of breakfast. When a dish rattled, they heard it, no matter
where they were.”—
