Life, Kids, Technology & that move to another continent
This story is from 2021 and I don’t know why I never published it.
A tells M the other day that they (the girls) have a theory that M is the easter bunny. Apparently the girls went looking for cereal and they found on a high shelf the stash of Easter chocolates and candies that we had bought to prepare for the Easter.
The cover story will be that I ate the candy after M moves it. I am ok with that even if I don’t get to actually eat it
As M and I were getting the Easter baskets ready for the girls last night I realized how much extra chocolate we had. M mentioned she usually donates it to the school. With school closed we had a tone of it. We treated ourselves to some Lindt Hazelnut chocolate bunny. I also wanted some alcohol and had to think about what to best pair with the bunny. I settled on Baileys. It paired very well. I almost felt like I was a contestant on Top Chef with my prize desert. Well almost…
When is it okay to eat kids holiday candy? I don’t consider myself a monster or anything however after a while it becomes apparent that kids are not going to ever be able to eat your Halloween candy hall or Easter candy in any reasonable amount of time. In my view Easter candy right now should be fare game. We shouldn’t have to even mention Halloween candy this time of year. if we still have it you can do what you will with it.
My wife and I disagree on timing of when we can touch the candy. I feel two weeks is good enough. By a month no question. Thoughts?
I am with John Stewart on the whole Passover vs Easter as a father of mixed faith (sorta neither faith however following stories of both). This is a video from a few years ago however its still as funny today as it was then. So true. Passover is such a harder sell than Easter. Just look at the photo of our Easter spread that is the setup for our egg hunt with the girls tomorrow. On the Passover front they may get some soup and chocolate covered matzoh.
