Fooling Eldest.

    Every once in a while...ok, more than that...I enjoy putting one over on the kids.  It  really makes my day.  Today I went into Chillicothe to run some errands.  Hon and the Kid are going backpacking with the Boy Scout troop this weekend so I had to get a few last minute things that won't weigh their packs down any more than they already are. 
    While I was at the grocery getting the much needed items, I made the mistake of walking past the baked goods without my blinders on.  Big mistake.  A package of cinnamon roll looking cream cheese danish rolls started enticing me over to them.  We had an argument over the damage they'll do to my waist and I lost.
    On the way home I stopped for gas and again they started taunting me and smelling good in the hot van.  Because of that (since I was stopped anyway) I popped the lid off the rolls and took out the real big offender and ate him.  That shut him up quick!  It was such a successful tactic that I did the same with the other loud mouth in there.  Then the rest understood my intentions and became very quiet.
    When I got home I emptied all the bags and put away the goods.  Then Eldest saw the container of yummy rolls.  He hadn't noticed the two missing yet.  He asked why I got them (duh) and I told him they were on sale, that I god a real good deal on them because someone had already opened the package and took two out.  He looked at me like I was nuts and said, "I can't believe you bought them.  I'm not eating those, someone's hands have been in there.  That's disgusting!"  So I proceeded to tell him that it's okay, I'll eat them.  I'm not worried about it.  After he thought about it a moment he said, "Nuh-uh, YOU at them...DIDN'T YOU!"  I told him it wasn't me, but when he offered to make me some lunch and I decline he knew for sure it was me.  Even so, I'm not going to fess up.  Now I'm waiting for Young'un and the Kid to come home so I can put one over on them, too.  Sometimes it's the little things.  Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!  Smiling & Waving, Sharon
