Did you ever look to see how many candies there are on
sale at Easter and in fact during most of the holidays??
There are so many to choose from that it is almost
impossible to find one that is your favorite.? My youngest
son has a favorite that is not his favorite.? Want to hear
the story?
?
When the kids were growing up, each had a candy they really
liked and I think their favorites were probably Heavenly
Hash and Pecan Eggs.? One day our daughter told me that
Marc??™s favorite Easter candy was Peeps and would I make sure
that I did not forget to get some for him when I bought the
Easter candy.? ? Well, I was a bit surprised at that bit of
information but since she and he were pretty close, I
figured she knew.
Last year around this time of the year, she finally
confessed.? Marc hates those Peeps and told her he wished
???momma??? would not buy any for him.? I guess she got a guilty
conscience or something because she finally came to me and
told me the truth.? I can??™t even begin to think how many
dollars I have spent buying peeps and he doesn??™t even like
them!? Children do have their jokes and play them often but
I believe this must be the longest running joke on record.?
This year when I started shopping
for Easter candy, I couldn??™t help but reach for the Peeps
because my hands have always reached for and picked up a lot
of those candies.? I did not buy any because I knew that the
rest of the family does not like them and did not want to
give them to Marc.? However, Danielle, to make up for her
previous joke, came in one afternoon with a really big
Peep.? It is about 6 inches tall and is a yellow stuffed
Peep.? I am putting it in Marc??™s basket this year!
Families play jokes frequently and
usually the person who is the butt of the joke accepts it
with chagrin and usually tries to get back at the person who
has played the joke.? I wonder what he might be thinking of
doing to her as a form of ???pay back?????

P. S.? Mickey and I found recipes
for Heavenly Hash and Pecan Eggs and for many years spent
hours the night before Easter making them for the kids.? We
used more pecans in our H. Hash and it was better than the
store bought and the Pecan Eggs were much cheaper to make
than the ones in the store.? Yesterday I made a double batch
of the H. Hash but our Pecan Eggs are a thing of the past.?
They take a long time to make and the kids ask for the H.
Hash.? Maybe next year we will make both.
