A couple of weeks ago I was trying to clean up and put away all of the Easter stuff for another year.  I found lots of little pieces of Easter candy that I did not want hanging around any longer than needful.  So I did the unthinkable…

ME: "Boys, guess what?"

BOYS: "What?"

ME: "See this bucket of Easter candy?"

BOYS: "Yes."  Actually it was "yeah" but I’m going to edit that very disrespectful response.

ME: "We’re going to have a candy PARTY!  For the next hour you can eat as much of this candy that you want!"

BOYS:  Speechless looks of stunned silence.  They were quietly thinking "Who are you and what have you done with our candy-hating mother?"

ME: "But here’s the catch.  In one hour, I’m going to call TIME!  And when I do, we have to throw everything that you didn’t eat AWAY."

BOYS:  "OK?!" 

Suckers!  No pun intended.

ME: "Ready…GO!"

For the next hour they proceeded to eat as much as they could…slowing down about 5 minutes in to the game.  Caleb had a lovely stash of half-eaten candy on my end table.  He realized that not all candy is equally tasty.  And Jacob laughed at the end saying, "Mom, were you trying to make us sick of candy?!"  🙂
