There’s a moral in this somewhere…

Tax Deduction #2: Mama, after I eat my lunch, may I have candy?

Me: Yes.

TD#2 eats lunch. Carefully chooses a piece out of his bag of Halloween candy. Oh, goodie. Chewy Fireballs.

Me: Are you sure about this?

TD#2: Uh huh.

Chomp. Big eyes. Tears. Wail.

TD#2: Mama, tongue!

Me: Yeah, it’s hot, hunh? That’s cinnamon.

TD#2: Simmum for toas’.

Me: For candy, too. Want me to throw that away?

TD#2: No.

Chomp. Big eyes. Tears. Wail.

TD#2: Mama, hurts mouf!

Me: Yeah, I know. Are you sure you don’t want me to throw that away? Mama doesn’t like them, either.

TD#2: No.

Chomp. Big eyes. Tears. Wail.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

    Yes and let me tell you, I was NOT going to have spent the better portion of a year pregnant to not get the tax deduction in the same year, so I told the doctor that no matter what, that kid was getting born before December 31.

    Further proof that it’s an innate drive to alter our consciousness. Obviously, Thing 2 needs a visit from his aunt haggis to introduce him to the joys of the jalepeño. You haven’t hurt so good until you’ve downed a burrito swimming in the things. 😀

    Cracking me up. I remember that type of thing with the Olders dared the Younger to eat a cayenne pickle.

    Okay, you people with jalapeño and cayenne pickles… No. You’re just wrong on so many levels.

    You leave me and my mild Pace picante alone.
