Candy Day

Last Sunday, Brian and I got out the bowls for breakfast. The rest was entirely Brian's idea... So we put two twinkies into each, put out a big bowl of candy, had various other sweets set on the table, and then called in the kids. Their eyes got big as we announced that "Today is candy day! You can eat as much candy as you want, whenever you want, and we won't tell you no! Then again, that's the only thing you can eat... But hey! It's Candy Day!"

There were whoops and hollers, cheers and giant smiles on all of them. It was priceless.
Super H: Whaaaaat?!
Agent J: WooHoo!
Mister S: Alright! That's what I dreamed about!
Lady R: Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!

Super H: You mean today is really Candy Day?
B: Sure is!
me: Yep! Every April 1st is Candy Day.

Super H: (face falling as the light is dawning) Aaaawwwwww!
Agent J: Oh, it's April Fools!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mister S & Lady R: (saying nothing, just smiling as they unwrap a twinkie.)

Everyone had a pretty good laugh --I am still!-- and then breakfasted on some wheat cereal and cheerios.

...and a twinkie apiece. =D
