This was the Halloween candy that the kids got while trick or treating.
They got to play with it for a couple of days. Sort, count, organize. They got to eat a few pieces. Then, they picked out 5 of their favorites and traded in the rest of it for a toy. They were very happy with this decision. Colin said "I love my candy but I love my toy even more."
Fast forward a few days. Colin is quiet in the corner behind the couch. I ask him what he is doing and he says "nothing" in a suspicious voice. I ask him again and he says "Nothing....but I was hungry."
I ask him to show me what he had eaten. He says he can't so I tell him to show me the wrapper. He says "I can't, it's way under the couch."
I move the couch and find a stash of candy wrappers. He had snuck all the candy, ate it, lied about it, and hid the evidence. I didn't know a 4 year old could have it in them to do that.
I am so afraid of 10 years from now.
