Neurotic Parent, Part 17
Jaimie on Mar 25th 2008
CJ brought home easter candy from school at the end of last week, and in his basket was a package of skittles. I usually let him pick one piece of candy and then put the rest away, and remove anything that makes me nervous before it reappears, but of course, he wanted the skittles.
Skittles are hard. And round. They make me nervous. CJ doesn’t chew candy - he sucks on it. Argh.
I took a deep breath and poured the (tiny) package of skittles into a bowl. CJ took one out, and just like I thought he would, he stuck it in his mouth and sucked on it. I watched him carefully, and he didn’t chew, and didn’t chew. I suggested he chew, but he ignored me. Then he got bored, took the skittle out of his mouth, and without a word, stuck it in mine.
Well… okay then.
And once I got over my surprise, he stuck the other 10 skittles still in the bowl in my mouth too. Good thing I like skittles…
