This doesn't add up

Okay, I'm no mathematician, but this doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me:

Number of kids in my house: 2
Major holidays that occurred in the past week: 1
Number of grandparents in immediate vicinity: 4
---
My net chocolate gain: 0

I have not seen a bit of chocolate in this house since Easter. My kids got all sorts of trinkets and such, but where's the chocolate?

I feel so cheated.

Hmm, have you checked all the drawers? I for one keep mine hidden in my jewelry armoire. I have stuff left over from Valentines Day! :D

*gasp* I feel cheated for you, too! I love your math equation though. :-)

I was a chocolate grinch this year. We have no children, but I usually buy a bag of something on sale. I did buy a 40 cent individual pack of Cadbury Mini-eggs for Chris when he was having a bad day, though. I just can't have it around or I'll eat it all. *grouchy face*

You do realize that the parents usually buy the chocolate--there isn't REALLY a bunny to bring it around for them.

You can have all of mine. And Conner's. He lost his Easter basket - the entire basket last week when he dumped both of them (including grass) all over the floor and then thought I was joking when I told him he had to pick it all up.

He also lost the TV for that evening.

I don't want the chocolate. So you can have:

Dove milk and dark chocolate eggs, a Dove bunny, M&M variety packs, Nestle Crunch eggs, and Dove truffle eggs.

Wait, scratch the Dove truffle eggs. I can't deal with two whining men in my house, and those are DH's favorites.

I suppose it's all for the best, seeing as I'm trying to be healthy and all, but still... it just isn't right. I better get used to it though, as my DD doesn't seem to have inherited my sweet tooth... she rarely finishes a cookie, and has chosen broccoli over cake before. She's a freak of nature :-)

Boo, with that being said, I normally wouldn't feel right taking chocolate from a child, but since you offered... :-)

Take it all. All. I don't ever want to see any of it again. I have finally learned my lesson.

I'm not giving you any of my chocolate --- but I did tag you on my blog. That's even better, right?

I returned from vacation determined to buy NO MORE chocolate. Someone had sent me a box of See's chocolates while I was gone and it was waiting for me in the kitchen.
