the fucked-up index for the day

[westerling]

So I bought a bag of Japanese plum candies when I was in So. New Hampshire a couple weekends ago; candy that I really love. I can't find anybody who sells it around here, which is totally stoopid, considering that I found them in a one-up-from-a-convenienc-store in NH, and we live in the Land of Natural Foods Cooperatives. Anyhow, now I wish I'd bought ALL the bags they had.

So, here's the fucked-up part: G. sees me pop one in mouth this morning, and says, "what's that, Mommy?" and I totally deadpan and without thinking, say, "Medicine!" I am teh bad parent, not share candy with six year old. :P *guilt* Maybe I will be a good parent tomorrow.

Look at it this way, it's yet one more piece of sugary, delicious evil that he doesn't need at his young age. *nods sagely*

I feel your pain, tho, every time I forget to give the rats part of a delicious something I'm eating, I feel like a horse's ass.

At least you didn't take it away from him...that would have been worse. What he doesn't know won't hurt him...plus, who's to say that you don't have a prescription for Japanese plum candies?

*nods* Right. No food issues here.

Hey, why didn't this come to me via email? Is my email broken? *wishful thinking*

No, you're not a bad parent. I did the same thing with O. when I was popping hard candies all the time (not something I normally do) to stave off the nausea, and O. would say "what are you eating?" and I'd say "Something for my throat," which was kind of true. He is too young to eat hard candies and could choke on them.

Ok, so your motivation is a little more selfish than not wanting to puke while driving, and your kid is older, but it's ok to have something that's just for yourself. Just try not to do it in front of him. Or get a local source and share. Or order bulk on the Internet???

Yeah, I just should have not had them in front of him. I am looking for them elsewhere. To get them on the internet, they are a bit expensive.

Girlfriend, what are you doing up!! Go to bed, pregnant woman!! Get some sleep!!

Yeah, right. :)
