LACH ASKED ME TO BRING HIM A COCONUT AND FLOWING LAVA

I knew I couldn't bring Lach his flowing lava request, but a coconut I figured would be no sweat.
I bought a fresh green coconut from a roadside fruit stand and took it to the post office to mail it.  "No way", I was told by the postmaster.  I could only mail a coconut if it was dried and brown.  Uggg, I was so sad.  I decided to see if they would let me take it on the plane.
At the airport, I went to a nice older gentleman at the agriculture scanner and asked him if I could take it.  No problem.  Yippee, I was so happy.  I was going to get cool mom points with the 5 year old!
If I could grow a coconut tree in my backyard, I'd have many.  SO delicious.  I am happy, happy, happy.

PS - Our seven year old informed us he likes the dried sugary coconut better.

Now that is one great knife! WE don't own anything quite like that...so when we try to bust into a coconut...it's quite the chore! My kids like the sugar coconut better too! :)
