...I don't remember when it started, but they were probably barely toddlers when I started a tradition of squirting Reddi-Whip topping in their mouths. I know it's not good for you, but it's mostly just air and it is SO much fun! They would open their mouths W-I-D-E like hungry little birds for me to squirt that cream in their mouths. Now when they come they always ask for their birdie food and I've always got plenty on hand for them! Great fun and great memories!
