The butterfly, the M&M, and the Alien have some training to go through.
Confused and misguided.
After our first trunk or treat of the week, I noticed that Mat and I failed to train our kids on picking good candy. When Micah was given the choice to choose her candy, she strictly went for pink wrapped things. Ahhh! It was all about the color for her. She was merely judging the candy by it's outside and not by the goodness inside.
The kids have to pay us a parent tax from their Halloween candy for taking them to these things... waiting in lines, carrying their sweaty gloves when they get too hot and crowns when they keep falling off, and taking them to the bathroom when they have tightly wound one piecers on. Why not give them some direction? Just channel them a little.
We laid it out for them:
Good candy, you have your,
Twix, M&Ms, Snickers, Reeses, Kit Kats, Baby Ruths, Milky Ways, Milk Duds (see where I'm going with this?)
Bad Candy
Airheads, Starbursts, Laffy Taffys (except the banana), Jolly Ranchers, Dots, Dum Dums, and More Dum Dums.
That simple. Hopefully we won't have to raise taxes this year. Everyone's Happy!
