It is a gorgeous day on the beach. The sun is shining as a light breeze caresses the palm trees. The aqua ocean stretches as far as the eye can see and practically melds into the cloudless sky. I take a deep breath and lay back in the chaise lounge. I glance over the top of my sunglasses and see Fernando, the lithe, 20-something, Brazilian underwear model approaching with my pina coloda and bowl of grapes. "Fernando," I say "Peel my grapes before feeding them to me this time. I can't stand grape skin." I close my eyes and relax as Fernando leans over me and one by one peels each grape and pops them in my mouth. "Fernando, what is that smell? Why am I smelling peanut butter? What happened to the coconut oil I asked you to wear?" I open my eyes expecting to see the lithe, 20-something, Brazilian underwear model named Fernando but instead I see the lithe, almost 2-something toddler Alexandra. She is covered in peanut butter and jelly and instead of feeding me grapes she is systematically shoving goldfish down my throat.
And scene.
