Corny

I know a lot of crunchy people who don't let their children touch refined sugar.

Needless to say, I am not one of them.

Oscar looooooves candy. Loooooooves chocolate. Licorice. Marshmallows. Lollipops. And if given candy, he will eat and eat and ask for more and whine or cry when I say no, enough already.

So, it's nearly Halloween, and Oscar is in love with candy corn. I mean, he would eat it by the pound if he could. I have moved it to the top of the refrigerator to keep him out of it. He discovered that he loves the harvest corn with the brown ends even more because there is a cocoa flavor involved.

The Halloween episode of Yo Gabba Gabba has a song called "Too much candy's gonna make you sick!" He sings it as he wolfs down a handful of candy corn.

"Candy coin! I want candy coin!" he demands. No please, just the imperious little voice looking for his sugar fix.

One might ask, why do I buy it, then?

BECAUSE I LIKE IT. NOW SHADDAP.
