Today at the grocery store, Sebi eyed a strategically placed bag of candy corn (thanks marketing guys at H.E.B.) and asked if he could have them.
I decided to say yes since they were the Hill Country Fair brand (kudos, marketing guys) and were only .99c, however I wouldn't let him open them in the store.
I wasn't being a good mom, ya'll.
Well, maybe I was in a round-a-bout sordof way. You see, the moral behind me not letting him open the candy wasn't that I didn't want him to have candy before lunch. I just knew that he didn't have any milk on hand and you can't just eat a candy corn (which is like sugar intensified through hush-hush science) without a glass of milk.
Case in point. Later today, I gave Pudge a candy corn. Immediately after finishing, he reached for his sippy-cup.
**I realize this now raises issues about the "good mom" claim after admitting I gave my 16 month old a candy corn...**

We have those too :)
If we get any candy corn this halloween season we are sending it your way.
I personally can't stand it, so I will be fostering that same disgust in my children. What are mothers for? ;)
The candy corn at HEB is CRAZY!!! They are at the end of every stinkin' aisle, right?? Those marketing guys know exactly what they're doing...
And this was the first candy corn that Reagan ever had. We learned very quickly not to give him any at least 45 minutes before bedtime.
The entire time I was in Keller this past week or so, Ben kept asking me if I liked candy corn, over and over and over again. Turns out there is a song about it and he was "rapping" it instead of singing it.
And all this time, I thought he wanted my opinion...go figure...
