Too much candy?

Yesterday, I put a piece of Halloween candy in Corbin's lunch as a rare treat. When he came home, it was still there. I was puzzled and a bit shocked to see that he didn't eat it, but what really shocked me was his explanation of why he didn't eat it. Corbin told me that he got a candy cane at school for bringing in food for the can food drive, and he thought one piece of candy was plenty for the day. Wow, I thought. What a good choice. I know that I never made the choice as a kid- if I had a chance to eat candy twice, I would take it. What a responsible boy.

wow! self discipline! way to go in raising him. I would have definitely eaten both, and conned my neighbor into giving me their candy cane too.
ps- I didn't cry when we cut Evelyn's hair. My mom said after I do it I'm going to say that I should of done it a long time ago. and I did!
