Really? It means little kids as I learned it (the same meaning as “rug rats”). I very much apologize – it was pure ignorance on my part.

Glinda, please go right ahead and delete my comment. This is a fun blog and should stay that way and I’ll take full responsbility for a mistake.

Thanks for the correction up guys!

jenn and cheeky- I am going to go out on a limb and say that Phyllis is probably not aware of the “urban” definition of that term. Based on the context of her comment, she is referring to children.

Ana- You are not wrong at all!

Victor- Why yes I do! That’s the best part!

“Um, porch monkeys? In the words of Inigo Montoya…I do not think that word means what you think it means…”

Agreed. A not very nice thing to call someone.

That is *so* mean! Do you claim the ears from his chocolate rabbit, as well? ;~)

You know I had to steal all my son’s snicker bars! Chocolate, one of my major cravings. Was it wrong that I stole them, when he had a garage full of everything else? He doesn’t seem to notice.

[...] And there is no child on earth that could eat all of the 2.3 metric tons of candy we have accumulate… [...]

Phyllis- Oh yes, the candy goes out. There is no way we can eat all of it. I had heard of the suggestion to give it to a shelter or similar place so that they could pass out candy to the kids on special occasions. I’m thinking about doing that.

Liz- I’m not sure they’d make it! You’d get Smarties dust!

Suzanne- Tootsie Rolls are not my favorite, either.

Twistie- I am so NOT crafty. It is something that haunts me.

cheeky- Smarties suck!

Beenzzz- Resist the call!

Rain- I love those chewy caramels! But not the coffee kind.

Never teh Bride- I did something similar, after my mom had whittled it down to a managable size. She didn’t eat it, she just threw it away, I think.

cheeky- I can tell, you really hate Smarties!

Yeah, your Smarties are like M&M’s; ours are gross, chalky, sour little pill-sized things that only people who hate candy hand out.

Raincoaster: Our Smarties are quite different than yours…and quite nasty if I do say so myself!

I was the lame kid who rationed her own Halloween candy. I’d usually eat the last piece sometime in March, long after the chocolate had gone all ashy. Being that I only allowed myself a few pieces at a time, I never could tell if my mom stole my stash.
