Today I saw Hot Tamale candies on the shelf, and I was reminded of when I was in the first grade. I had to go to the hospital to have my appendix removed. The day after my surgery, the doctor that did the surgery came to see me in my hospital room. He told me that my appendix looked like a Hot Tamale. I didn’t know what he was talking about, as I had never seen those candies. Fast forward a few weeks or months, and another kid at school had them on the playground. At that point it clicked. “Oh!” I thought to myself. “That must be what my appendix looked like.”
