New House Rule



Halloween Candy Wonderland - Fanpop.com

Daddy brought goody bags home from his boss today.  No, perve, not that kind of goody bags.  They were small bags that had candy and gum inside for each of the children - they were extras from a weekend Halloween party.  Let's see, there were fun-sized candy bars, tons of laffy taffy, mini M&M's, sourpatch kids, and fireballs.  Maybe some other stuff but I was trying NOT to pay attention since I can't eat it.  Bitter?  Nah, not me.  So anyways, Deena and Fern were the only two home this evening and they were both digging into their goody bags while I read.  Next thing I knew Deena was flying through the living room, through the dining room, and into the kitchen gasping for air.  With lightning speed she grabbed a cup and shoved it under the water tap.  At first I thought she was choking but she didn't look that panicked.  I watched Deena throw back a glass of water like it was kool-aid and watched her wipe her mouth on her sleeve.  She looked at me and said "New house rule - DONT eat what you DONT know!"  Turns out Deena didn't like the fireball.  And I, for one, agree with the new house rule: If you dont know what something is, please don't eat it.  And sometimes, even if you DO know what something is, you still shouldn't eat it.  See example below of supposed canned tuna from Russia (?).
