Well, trick-or-treating is over for the Ammoniac household. Now the kids are in bed, what do I steal? Well, from the two-year-old, everything is fair game. Much of it is a choking hazard for her, but not, providentially, for me.
I can’t really steal from the older kids, but they’re pretty generous with the things they don’t like. They willingly gave up their Now and Laters, which are my absolute favorite. For some reason I can never find them these days except at Halloween.
So confess your crimes, and the chocolate won’t go to your hips. I promise.
They’re like Starbursts, only much harder. Not hard enough to be hard candy, but they kind of stick to your teeth. Oh, and I’ve just eaten the last of them on Planet Earth, I think.
Systematic removal: anything with peanuts - Dweezil is allergic to peanuts. So we’re doing it to save his life. Pure altruism. And it would be sinful to waste food, so…
And we’ll casually filch bits of whatever they have, preferentially chocolate, of course. They each got a large bagful last night, and will never miss it. If they don’t see us mid-filch, that is…
Used to be I’d get all the Jolly Ranchers, Sweet Tarts, Whoppers and 100 Grand bars.
Now, Kid2U is 15, and informed me last night that he didn’t want to participate in trick or treating - would it be ok if I just bought him two bags of candy now that they’re on sale at the store? :rolleyes:
Anything chocolate, except the Tootsie Rolls. I cannot stand Tootsie Rolls. They’re wanna-be chocolates that veer off into nasty stickiness. I’ll give mine to Ginger, if I can have your Three Musketeers.
