Ohmygosh, I have to tell ya what DH did!! We bought mix bags of candy and the other night, I walked into the living room and there was a big pile of candy wrappers. He looked at me and said "you know tonight they had on the news about certain candy bars not being good for the children and parents should throw them away, they have too many calories" as he pops another one in his mouth and he continued saying "so I am just saving the children!" I thought I was going to pee my pants!! What a hoot!
