Last spring my parents-in-law took our children camping and touring around Texas. They visited the Salt Museum, because well, let's face it, a salt museum is just odd enough to be really interesting. One of the boys bought a chunk of salt the size of my fist as a souvenir.
Doesn't every boy needs a fist-sized-piece-of-salt sitting on top of their bookshelf gathering dust?
Yesterday afternoon my 16 year old daughter was in the backyard watching the boys play while reading Little Dorrit. Dickens doesn't make for good babysitting. It was my 14 year old who, glancing out the window, brought to my attention that someone had taken the souvenir chunk of salt outside, and, well-
and a group of neighborhood little boys and my little boys were all sitting in a circle, in the grass, taking turns licking the salt!
This of course leads to my Friday Feel Good- You might be a Redneck if you have a salt-lick in the backyard for your children.

Love it! I could definitely see my kids right there in that circle, too. Cute post :)
Too funny! I found your blog from The Girl Next Door Grows Up. I'm a sucker for redneck jokes and this did not disappoint! ;)
Did they attract any deer?! LOL! Sounds like a fun way to spend the time.
lol, kids are so funny! You need to get it on tape for America's Funniest Videos and win some money.

No Way! Oh my gosh that is too cute. Now I am wondering how it tasted, especially with the dust :-)
Crazy what kids will do for fun, isn't it? Look at the bright side - sounds like they were taking turns!

This post had me cracking up - my mom's best friend lived out in the "country" & I have licked an actual salt-lick set out in a pasture for the goats & horses!
