I just found the 20 pounds I lost...

By the way, my parents have done it again.

It seems to be the family tradition around here is that, without fail, we always buy WAY TOO MUCH CANDY.

Too much candy you say? There can NEVER be too much candy you say? Well, the night isn't over yet, but after the majority of trick-or-treaters have already stopped by, we still have an entire cooler

you can always donate some of your extra to a worthy charity...like the feed Goose fund :)

hehe... you should see the costco wholesale monster sized crate my mom brought home to give out this year.

just don't forget to brush carefully...

A cooler is a giant plate, yes? Since you ate some candy from the cooler, finished it less than half way, and then proceeded to walk away, that totally counts against you.

THE MAGICAL 8-BALL WAS RIGHT.

O.O;;

I refute this claim!

The cooler is not a plate - it's a giant take-out box! Since the said food item is at home, different rules apply. At home, there is the convenience of storing food for indefinite periods of time. You don't have to drink the entire gallon of milk at once - that is the joy of refrigeration.

This 50% takeout/clean your plate rule only applies at restaurants, where you know that if the food is not eaten or salvaged, that it will go to waste. And good food should never go to waste! (Especially if I'm payng 10-20+ dollars for it.)

Don't worry though, I've been finding ways to outsmart that Magic 8 Ball for years...

Do not eat the candy, Meli!!

Just call Goose and Blash over. It will be gone in mere moments. Not only will you get a rather silly sugar-enduced show for your entertiament, your hips will be safe!

I think I could help you out with your candy dilemma...

Oh, you are welcome to it, my friend.

However! You must be able to muster the courage and fortitude to walk the whole two blocks down to my house. Can you accept this challenge? If you manage to brave the hazards of trained attack sprinklers, looming parked cars, and the infamous overgrown prickly pear guarding your path, you will be rewarded handsomely my dear.
