Cotton Candy

My parents took me to Holiday on Ice when I was about three years old. Dad bought cotton candy and tried to get me to try it. I refused. I knew what cotton was- it was the stuff jammed in the top of the aspirin bottle, and I knew it wasn't good to eat because I had tried it already. But in my preschool mind, I didn't need to explain all that to my parents; I assumed they knew. What kind of prank were they trying to play on me? It was years before I understood what cotton candy really was. This comic is from AirBearEntertainment. (via reddit)
