I’m lucky this year.
I’ll be away Halloween night and my kids are no longer on the trick-or-treating circuit.
So, I haven’t bought any candy.
However, I was VERY tempted this week.
At the grocery store, the boxes were right there, and the O’Henrys were practically calling my name.
But I had no good argument.
This year I couldn’t even try to fool my own mind with “they’re for the kids,” or “I’ll hide them until Halloween night.”
And yes, I’ve said those things before… and I just went out and bought more.
Halloween candy is addictive.
It’s a dangerous mixture of nostalgia and highly-paletable, microdoses of sugar.
One is never enough.
