We’ve all done it. No matter how much we try to convince ourselves we won’t dip into the kids’ Halloween Candy, that time rolls around and we find so many fabulous excuses to sneak just a piece.
32 Ways You’ve Justified Stealing Your Kids’ Halloween Candy
I gave you life, you owe me Reece’s. That’s how it works. I saw this on Facebook, which inspired this post. I totally agree that’s how it works!
I’m helping keep the sugar rushes and craziness at a manageable level
This one has nuts in it
That one is too hard for their teeth
It’s too chewy for their teeth
If I leave the chocolate in the bag, it will just start to taste like all the other candy
Kids can’t properly appreciate the deliciousness of a Heath bar
She has too many Snickers, she won’t notice if one goes missing
The chocolate eyeball is the smallest in the bag, no one will miss it
Any longer and the Starburst will get hard
I took one from his sister’s bag, so I better even it out and take one from his too
That seems to be just the right size for choking, I’m saving a life.
This wrapper looks suspicious
Heck, I should probably just try a random sample to check for foul play
They’ll never eat this much candy
It’s all bad for them and bad for their teeth, anyway
Can you imagine what all that sugar would do to them? I better eliminate this one
They have no idea how good a Bit O’ Honey is, and I’d like to keep it that way
I bought their costume, bundled them up, hauled them around the neighborhood, and carried one of them home – I deserve it.
What kid likes an Almond Joy, anyway?
I just need a little something….
He got a bag of Oreos and his sister didn’t, I’m just preventing a fight
They’ll be fine as long as I leave two KitKats, they don’t need all five
Taffy is too messy for little ones
That one is too sour for them
It looks like that corner might be open
Oops! I think I ripped it
Reece’s have all those little chocolate pieces that always fall out, I don’t want to deal with that
Don’t even get me started on the mess a Butterfingers would make…
They always want me to try things, I’ll just try this one now
Some of these don’t fit in the bag for storage, oh well…
I don’t need a reason anyway, I’m Mom!
How many of these have you used?
Happy Halloween to you all! Good luck staying away from those candy buckets!
