Piece of Candy

The other night Amber told Gavin he could have one piece of Easter candy after he finished his dinner.

He stuffed everything in his mouth and announced he was done.

Amber said, "OK, you can have one piece. What do you want."

He thought for a second and replied, "The Chocolate Bunny."

...This is where parenting gets less easy: While technically a 1/2 LB chocolate easter bunny is 0NE piece of candy, we had to engage in a precedent-setting legal battle to amend the court's definition of a "piece" of candy. After a lengthy debate, the proceedings ended with a hung jury, lots of tears, and one party going to bed early.

By order of the court, the bunny was later dropped on the kitchen floor, breaking it into hundreds of pieces and effectively preventing future litigation... or so we hope.
