Traveling with a 4 year old is not easy. They are very needy, require lots of equipment, and are never impressed with what they should be. Olivia is no exception. Most of our trips have a level of crying, whining and complaining that most travelers do not have to contend with.
However, there is one SURE thing that always makes the world alright for Olivia, and that something is the KinderEgg!
For those of you who don’t know, KinderEggs are hateful little chocolate eggs with a surprise toy inside them. They are illegal in the US, but ever since our friend John Russell Schuck (thanks a lot John, I thought we were friends) brought one back for Olivia from one of his business trips to Germany, Olivia has been obsessed with them. And when I say obsessed, I mean she watches YouTube videos of people unwrapping eggs in German…for fun!
So try to imagine her delight at finding this on display at…of all places, an Italian Gas Station! Olivia went into absolute paroxysms of joy, squealing and clapping out loud. I swear I thought the girl was going to faint with excitement. The owner was so happy seeing Olivia’s happiness, he gifted her with one himself.
This gas station obviously hates parents.
The unveiling…
Drumroll please…
And the winner is …
Olivia with an egg as big as her face!
KinderEggs are her Jam!
And what is inside you ask? Well let
me tell you, it’s J-U-N-K that kids just L-O-V-E!
