St. Bob Becomes a Mogul

           We all have wild dreams. Most of us shelve them, only occasionally imagining what we’d do if we ever hit it really big. But I never knew about one of St. Bob’s secret dreams.

          He went to a friend’s cabin, opened a cupboard, and (cue the Heavenly choir) saw an entire display box of Butterfingers. Yes, these are the boxes you see on store shelves.

          “You can buy these?” Bob gasped.

          “Sure,” his friend said.

          Needless to say, the minute Bob got home, he drove to Walmart, lifted the entire Butterfinger display off the shelf, placed it on the conveyor belt, and came home a luminary, a commander of legions, a king of commerce.

         All in one glorious moment. This day he conquered the Mount Everest of candy acquisition.  Rare is the purchasing giant who can actually go to his pantry anytime and find a box of Butterfingers from which he can casually choose.

          Ahh… to attain such heights, such majesty. He has proudly shown it to several visitors, but stopped when he realized they might want one. Now it sits in silent secrecy, awaiting his visits.

          And I am married to that genius.
