Fear not, you will not read anything from the movie, ‘Forest Gump’. I do understand he had a line in the film about life being like a box of…
No, this is about a box of chocolate candy we have in our kitchen.
The other night, I saw it sitting alone and opened it in front of our nine year-old Taylor.
She watched me closely as I opened the cover and removed the hideous wax paper. I think she was hoping I’d offer her a piece? Whose idea was it to invent that paper and place in a box of candy?
Anyways, as I looked over the scrumptious looking treats, I reached for one and took a bite.
Taylor looked at me and I cringed…”YUCK, this taste terrible.”
I attempted to place it back in the box, Taylor saw this and screamed, “DADDY, DON’T PUT IT BACK!”
Before I could release it from my fingers, I pulled it back and tossed it in the trash.
Nah, I’m just kidding, I didn’t try to put it back in the box. But I will confess, I used to do that as a kid.
My mother was a candy lover. She always had candy all over the house – it got to a point where she had to hide it in a closet and at night, when I was alsleep she’d pull it out and enjoy it while she watched t.v.
