This afternoon we came to a Chinese supermarket to buy some sweet dumplings to share them with my daughter and her kids.  Surprisingly, our favorite dumplings of sesame flavor had been all sold out.  So, we had to pick the less favorite ones: red bean and peanut.  A little to my dismay, my granddaughters seemed not that interested in sweet dumplings.  

I told myself it is okay not to let kids have the habit of eating sweets too much, too often.  By the way, I took the opportunity to teach my elder granddaughter the word: solstice.
