Burnt Marshmallow Myth


Grandpa Miller always told me (with those wonderful, smiling, -more like laughing!- blue eyes of his), that burnt marshmallows would give me black curly hair. 

I tried and tried to get black curly hair by burning all my marshmallows when we had a picnic...it just didn't work! Dark brown, straight hair is just NOT the same, Grandpa! :-) 


I especially remember a picnic on the south side of Grandma's and Grandpa's house...I was getting up from the table to burn a marshmallow and the table tipped, because other people were sitting on the downhill side! Couldn't have been just me that stood up at the time, because I wasn't very old, and I used to be skinny! It was all those marshmallows and Wacky cakes!
