Rites of Passage

How is it possible?

How can it be, that my kids are 6 and 8, and have never done this before in their lives??

They thought they were opening little presents!

Mama, you can ask me to do this job anytime!

Corn has HAIR!

Shortly after this picture was taken, I realized exactly why they'd never shucked corn before.

Or why I never let them into the kitchen.

I'm still picking 'hair' up off the floor, and I've vacuumed three times.
