Halloween aftermath

I hate Halloween candy.

Three of our kids are great eaters. They eat well-balanced, full meals without complaint. Except after Halloween. After Halloween they sit down at the table and the first thing they say is, "How many bites do I have to eat to get candy?"

The remaining kid has never been a good eater. After halloween, he complains that he wants to eat candy instead of what is being served for dinner. And when he was disallowed a piece of candy after consuming only half a spoonful of soup for dinner, he cried for an hour.

To cope, I had to have two Reese's peanut butter cups from their stash after they went to bed.
