The best sound in the world...

You know what the best dang sound in the world is?

Why, yes...

That's right!

It is the sound of basketball shoes squeaking on the gym floor.

Isn't that just the best sound?

You know when someone makes an abrupt pivot on the wooden floor and their shoes make that squeak? 

I love that sound.

Love it.

That sound even tastes good.

And yes, sounds can taste.

It tastes like Cherry Blow-Pops dipped in coke and Frito Pie and happiness.

Sigh.

I love high school basketball games.

I don't know why.

Here me and the oldest minion are at a game last year.

And then the serious face.

And the not so serious face.

Bleachers. 

I love them.

You know what other sound is the best in the world?

And your going to have to work with me on this one because you may have never noticed it before...

The sound Hershey's Kisses make when you press them into a hot peanut butter cookie.

Observe:

Hot Peanut Butter Cookies.

Then you take a Hershey Kiss and press it into the cookie.

It makes this fantastic steam puff escaping kind of sound.

Oh, just try it. 

It's a great sound.

Here is what isn't a great sound...

My alarm clock. 

I mean it's a pleasant sound but it results in this:

Piles of children laying around the house in odd locations.

You gotta watch this minion. 

He wanders off and falls back asleep after he has been woken up. 

And then he doesn't make any sound.

And then I have to make several loud sounds to find him and wake him. 

Maybe I should have him wear squeaky basketball shoes.

Then I could find him.

Or maybe I should just make cookies in the morning.
