Peanut Butter

Dear Peanut Butter,
I love you.  I love your creaminess.  I love how you taste with chocolate.  You give life to my morning shake, you bring me a smile when I eat my PB&J, and in the past I enjoyed smearing you over a Chips Ahoy cookie (or 5).  I enjoy you every day and you will be missed.  Know that I will always have a soft spot in my taste buds for you, but must say goodbye.  I am leaving you for.......dare I say it...........soy nut butter. 

My reason for leaving you is easy.  You caused hives and swelling all over my 11 month old son.  He only had a taste and next thing I know, he is screaming and itchy.  I have spent the past 34 years loving you, but that love is nothing compared to that of the little man, who is in a Benedryl coma up in his crib. 

I know you will have a lifetime of making people happy.  I will enjoy my lifetime without you.........well actually the next 18 years before he goes to college or on any kid-free vacation.  Some people will vacation to booze it up...........me, I will be consuming large amounts of peanut butter.  It's a love affair that will never end.

Yours forever.............
