"You eat too much chocolate."

Friday, July 12, 2013

I know. I KNOW. I know what you're thinking. My jaw just about hit the floor as my mom and I drove home from dinner.

Me: Whatttttttt??? (Who is this lady in my mom's body that is saying crazy things?)
Mom: I've noticed you eat a lot of chocolate. You eat it every day!
Me: (I remain silent because I have yet to see what the problem is. She then proceeded to accuse me of eating all the Swiss chocolate that they received as a gift. Fortunately, I got my Dad to fess up to the crime and my honor was restored once again.)
Mom: Ever since you got here I've been eating chocolate every day! I need to stop. I'm not breastfeeding like you!

This interaction made me think a bit.

Doesn't everyone ask their mom to please keep a steady stream of Haggen Dazs stocked in (both) freezers at all times when visiting?

Daily eating schedule: Breakfast, lunch, lunch dessert, dinner, dinner dessert. That's pretty typical. Am I right or am I right?

C will stand as my witness. I cannot remember the last day I went without dessert. I just can't remember. And frankly, I don't want to remember. I think it was before J was born.

I don't think I want to know a life where dessert is not an integral part of it.

I think your comment about not being able to remember the last time you had dessert is one of the funniest things I've read in a long time. Good work. I wish I had thought of this hilariousness first.

Brittney! Hi! I take it as a huge compliment if you think I'M funny. And I really do mean the not remembering part. Heck, I even buy the greek yogurt with the dark chocolate chips in it. Perhaps I have a problem...
