What's a mother to do when she is packing three lunches and the only sweet in the house she has to offer are fruit snacks? Her youngest daughter does not like fruit snacks, so the mother is scrounging around trying to find something, anything to fill that void. Then she spies it, one fun sized pack of M&Ms that she was saving for herself today. Oh the struggle within. Of course the mother lives a few blocks from the gas station and could satisfy her own sweet tooth later in the day. But very often, when it's time for her "chocolate break" she is still in her pjs and not ready to be seen in public.
Well, in the end she does what any good mother would do and tosses the M&Ms in the lunch sack without another thought and without saying anything to anyone about the incident.
Two hours later the father returns from dropping the three girls off at school. He has a bag from CVS. Inside is a box of allergy medicine, a bag of peanut M&Ms for himself and, you guessed it, plain M&Ms for the mother! Fourteen whole ounces of chocolatey goodness when all she gave away was half an ounce!
I wonder if there will be any for the other daughter's to enjoy upon their return from school? What's your vote?
