That's what kids do...

Act I

Scene 1

(A kitchen. Mom enters still in pajamas groggy from just waking up. She trips over son. As she flips on the light, piles of candy wrappers are seen all over the floor.)


Mom: Ian, where did you get that candy? Why are you sneaking candy before breakfast?

(bending to pick up piles of candy wrappers)


Ian: I'm a kid. Kids sneak candy. If they can reach it, they sneak it. Cuz kids love candy.

(close scene because how do you argue with that?)

That is totally hilarious! And has happened numerous times in our house with all three kids since Halloween!! I like Ian's reasoning. And I agree, what can you say to that?!

I swear that kid is going to be a lawyer :)

Deep stuff, that one!

I love that your kids are so honest with you. Most kids would have blamed it on a ghost that woke them up and led them to the candy stash making them open and eat it all...or maybe that's just some kids I know... :)
