Sweetly Full Pantry

And so it begins … my crew will over treat themselves to ample chocolate for I have just stuffed our pantry sweetly-full again: No one will know why the stocked, offered sweets, meant to last about a week were otherwise offed before two full days passed; All will be equally mute and dumb about sweet crumbs in play room, den, beds, and chocolate lint-hit debris I find in pockets; No one will claim a food mess made and left to be discovered, no, they will all blame pals, fictitious gerbils and each other; When a sweet ingredient vanishes that I bought for a recipe, no family peep will be able to describe or imagine its demise; and, despite my threat of live yard burial, they take my choc favs that are small, round and perfectly top off their chocolate cereal. I have a good-sized, hidden, box with drawers full of the best stuff. Looking thru cleaning products would be conduct void of any profit so, I am confident my stash, by child or spouse, will never be found. I often hide in my closet to suck or chew my way to chocolate heaven. When eat-hiding, I cuss about my kids lack of any mature desires raring to thread a needle of ambition to sew up some consideration. All of my offspring take after their Dad; they are myopic and episodic. They overeat, overly zoned out on electronics like lab rats on narcotics.

What a wonderfully charming and fun write, CayCay ... I enjoyed this thoroughly, and I'm sure it will place highly! I take care of my elderly folks with my diabetic brother, so for me hiding it in plain sight is the most effective, for all I need do is claim my Werther's Vanilla Creme-Filled Soft Caramels, (or Smart Food), are missing, and somebody's in trouble, lol, (and they police each other, haha!). Thanks for the smile! :-) <3

We are both care givers, for me an unintentionally but beloved journey. I not only hid my chocolate, but other peoples from them - I'm weak, soo weak, especially with chocolate covered nuts! I enjoyed your enthusiasm and personable visit very much. Thanks for MY smile ... CayCay

I almost did decide on hiding my stash among cleaning products but then I thought about how they might contaminate good chocolate and I couldn't bear it. Besides, chocolate really hides in my cabinet of clothes to mend, plus my bedroom craft drawers (other secret stashes exist, too). Love knowing I made you smile. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
