So you know sometimes people give you weird gifts that you’re not sure how to respond to?
Like diet books? Shudder.
Well last week I got this.
This could be seen as a dig at the fact I am stalked by slugs,
or,
a warm and loving meant gift to help me overcome my fear of their squishy ooziness.
I mean, it’s probably a recognised form of therapy somewhere,
‘EAT THE THING YOU FEAR’
- If you don’t like facial hair, munch on a moustache
- Scared of heights? Eat a mountain
- Frightened of the corners of cereal packets? Chomp on a box of Cheerios.
- Terrified of toes…, erm, cough, well…you know what I mean.
So I open the packet and inside is a small white bag. It doesn’t feel soft or squishy or anything, yet still I am imagining this.
But I get this.
That’s almost cute isn’t it?
I said almost.
But I still can’t bring myself to eat one, so I do what every good parent would do in this situation…
..I feed ‘em to my kids.

Jeez, I was usually trying to talk my kids out of their chocolates and have them give it to me. You are a weird mother. What’s to become of your kids now? They’ll never come home with a box of heart shaped chocolates for you and they will eat all chocolates you get from well meaning friends themselves.

Still not as repulsive as the booger and vomit flavored Harry Potter jelly beans though.

I’m nominating you for mother of the year hands down sandy

If they’re anything like my children, they’ll eat anything made out of chocolate, just giving the gross shaped thing a cursory glance. I mean they make those revolting milk teeth thingys . . .

What? You didn’t want the joy of biting the heads off your much loathed enemy? =P
