unexpected promises

I just got a package!

Now

if I were like my friend Sandy

I would have waited till this evening to open it

but alas

I am not.

I am

me.

So I quickly grabbed my trusty Leatherman pocketknife

and opened the box.

I thought maybe it was going to to be a nutcracker;

the size was about right.

But it was way better than a nutcracker

(especially for nasty black walnuts!)

and if I would've waited till I was all alone to open it,

I would have missed Lily's delighted squeal

at seeing

the

chocolate!

Thanks, Mom!

I love you

um....

I shared before I saw the note;

sorry.

And to be perfectly honest,

now that they all know I have candy

I'll probably share again.

That's just what moms do.
