1. Hairdo Fallout
Thanks for all of your too-kind comments on my new short and sassy do! Said ‘do’ was a much bigger hit in cyber space than it was here at home.
Thing 1: (with guilty look on her face) “I liked your long hair better” (then went for a diversionary technique as she searched in the mudroom closet and saw the ironing board, apparently for the first time) “Hey there’s a surfboard in here!”
Thing 2: “Mommy you look like grandma.”
Caveman: “Wow you really went short”….”I didn’t say I don’t like it”….”the front is good”…
To Chris K. and any other menfolk wondering: the Caveman will not come out and actually say he doesn’t like it until about 6 months from now when it’s all grown out. But he won’t lie and say he actually likes it either.
2. Got Candy?
I’ve come across not 1, not 2 but 3 articles on the best and worst Halloween candy. To make a long story short:
The Good
Tootsie Rolls
Dum Dum Suckers
3 Musketeers
Lemonheads
York Mint Patties
The Bad
Peanut Butter M&Ms (figures, my absolute fave)
Take 5 (huh? I’m sure they’re delicious)
and everything else that’s chewy, chocolaty, peanut-buttery, caramel-filled and wonderful (damn them)
The Questioinable
Candy Corn
Somehow candy corn made the good list and the bad list. Wha?
If candy corn is bad, I don’t wanna be good!
Do you take into account any of this when choosing the candy you’re giving away?
