Remember Olivia's letter to Sam, requesting to be pen pals? Well, he finally wrote back (two pages, single spaced, typed). The whole thing was entertaining, and addressed well the annoying things about sisters, homework, and . . . dark chocolate . I can't resist posting this part:
Now lets move on to how icky dark chocolate is!!! For one thing dark chocolate is made for adults not kids. I repeat not kids, adults!!! I don't care if you eat some on your eight-teenth birthday, but not before then. It makes you very dumb if you're not an adult when you eat it!!!
I'm not sure about the logic, but I can attest that I didn't even try dark chocolate or begin to acquire a taste for it until a few years ago. Actually, I dated a guy not too long ago who had a theory about people who liked dark chocolate. He was certain that the more down-to-earth and outdoorsy you were, the more likely you were to prefer dark chocolate over milk chocolate. I told him I would choose milk chocolate any day over dark and he was very surprised. I'm still not sure if he was truly disappointed or not.

Marian LOVES dark chocolate. Prefers the 70% cacao. Very weird for a girl who is just learning to eat and otherwise prefers bland.
Maybe it's those antioxidants or something. I wish I liked that kind instead!
