I am short. The men in my family are not. They don’t hide sweets from me anymore. They just leave it on the top shelf and laugh at my futile attempts to reach it.

This box even had a message for me as I gazed up at it. Taunting me. All the best indeed…

What weirdo likes liquorice all sorts anyway.

This is my submission to Becky’s January #SquareUp. The theme this month is our interpretation of up.

Feel free to pop into Becky’s corner of the internet and share what inspires you. The images must be square though.

  1. I love black licorice anyway! And would have to climb on something to get them down–just taunting you up there!

    1. Ha! Yes indeed! It’s ok. I am telling myself to ignore it. Went up the street to get some pastries instead.

      1. Just be sure he doesn’t over do it. Black licorice can have very serious side effects if eaten in excess.
