My Kid Is A Freak
My eleven-year old son has always been a bit…different. Especially when it comes to food.
When he was little, we didn't give him sugar. If he got anything sweet, it was sweetened with fruit juice. I think that might have had some impact on him, because to this day, he doesn't eat sweets. Halloween candy goes completely to waste. We have BAGS full of it. From years ago. Because in addition to him not liking sweets, he's a packrat.
So last night I got tired of all the sweets sitting around after he asked if he could have a Hershey bar we'd bought for s'mores. (Yes, I know this goes against what I said about him not liking sweets — he will get cravings, just not very often.) So I'm like, um, you have BAGS of chocolate candy that you haven't eaten, so why don't you have that instead? He grumbles. Eats a miniature Kit Kat.
In the mean time, I start tossing all the candy because I'm tired of it sitting around. But there was some really great stuff that I didn't want to throw away, so I gave it to him and told him to eat it. (I was kidding.) I walk off and start doing random kitchen cleaning, and pretty soon, he groans, "Mom, eating this candy feels like punishment…"
OMG, LMAO! How many kids do you think would treat eating candy as punishment???
My kid is so weird. 
I thought only my daughter kept bags and bags and bags of Halloween candy stashed in her room…
