My Gluttonous, Chocolatey Ways

I'm going to make this short, but sweet.  Very sweet, actually.

About 10 mins ago my son asked if he could have something out of his Easter basket.  Yes, believe if or not, there's still some candy in there.  The operative word being "some".

He asked, in particular, if he could have some of the 'lil malt-ball eggs that his Uncle G gave to him.

"Uh, yah, sure", I said, with what I'm sure was an audible "gulp".

Need I say more?

His first words when I gave him his basket?

"Heeeeey! Who ate all my eggs?"

(I didn't eat "all" of them)

I came clean.  Kind of.

I told him I had a "few" and he said it was okay.  What a sweetheart!  Such a sharing young lad and I told him so.

Little does he know that Mommy was downing fistfuls of those 'lil devils late one night.

Kind of like this, but with Easter eggs...


What my son doesn't know, doesn't hurt him.  

They're not good for his teeth anyways.

He might be happy to hear that I felt sick afterwards and the scale is reflecting my gluttonous ways.

I'm not telling him though.

Okay, I totally ate my kid's chocolate. I'm just glad he forgot about it....

Sarcasm Goddess said...

Those malt ball eggs are impossible to resist...which is why I never buy them. Once I start, I cannot stop.

Mommy Inconsistent said...

I know!! I did the same thing last year. When will I learn?

Mommy Inconsistent said...

Hahaha! That's awesome! Mine seem to never forget!

Jennifer said...

I totally helped myself to my kids' Easter candy too. On the sly, of course. When I asked them to share it with me they only handed me the bad stuff.

Mommy Inconsistent said...

Funny how they do that...well, not THAT funny...especially when you need a chocolate fix!

I don't know what happened to me over the past two weeks while I had vertigo and was on some major meds but I think I ate an entire candy store while I was on bedrest. I woke up surrounded by lots of wrappers and none of my clothes fit. Ugh! Next year, the Easter Bunny is bringing carrot and celery sticks!! ;-) Missed you while I was offline!

Glad to have you back! Hope you're feeling better!
