The Chocolate Haul

My daughter's chocolate-themed birthday party is this Saturday.  So naturally, we had to take a little trip to the grocery store to get some chocolate.

We walked into the candy aisle.  "Okay kid, pick some candy," I said.

Well, that was a mistake. She grabbed a bag of Kit Kats, and Hershey bars, and Reese Peanut Butter cups.

"That's enough," I said.

She gave me a look.  "Mom, this is no way enough!"  Then she grabbed some York peppermint patties, and M & Ms, and Twix bars."

I shook my head.  "Is that enough?"

"No, Mom, it's not enough."

Then she went for some non chocolate items - nerds, black Twizzlers, and Sourpatch kids.

"Wait a minute," I said.  "Something's not right, here!  This is a chocolate party, not a candy party!"

"But Mom," she said.  "One of my friends who's coming doesn't like chocolate.  She needs something to eat, too."

"Yeah, how about pizza, and veggies, and fruit?  That's something else."

"Mom!"

To  make a long story short, we ended up buying $65.00 worth of candy.  The moral of the story is this:  Never let a kid loose in a candy aisle!

  2. haha...that's hilarious. We missed Halloween one year, we got out way too late to go trick or treating, so I let my kids do the same thing. I think it cost me about the same amount. haha. Hope you have a great party!

    1. Fortunately, Halloween is right around the corner, so I'm hoping a lot of that candy will be for trick or treaters.

  4. It's incomprehensible to me that there are people in this world who don't like chocolate.

  6. Yum!

    There's no way I could have all that chocolate in my house days before the party. I'd be making a frantic trip back to the store on Saturday for sure. :)
