Coconut

Grace has been fighting strep throat and then mono for the past 5 weeks. She's been through weeks of a terrible sore throat, fever, zero appetite, and extreme fatigue. She's lost some weight and is still pale, but she's regaining her appetite and energy. The first time that she felt well enough to go with me to the grocery store, she spotted a coconut and asked to buy it. I'm pretty sure she thought it would taste like the virgin pina coladas Sam makes for her, and so she was very disappointed in it's water and meat. We've given her enough ice cream over the past few weeks to make up for it.
