Another Movie Story

The girls invited friends and we all went to see a movie. We got the girls kid's packs that include Skittles, popcorn, and a coke. Lauren, Madeline's friend, brought her own money and bought a big, huge pack of candy. The movie wasn't keeping the attention of the girls and those movies rarely keep Jack's attention at all. He was wandering up and down the aisles, I had to grab him a couple times. The girls were talking very loud and I had to scold them to be quiet so the other family in the cinema could hear.

Jack was going back and forth to Lauren who still had some candy left over after everyone had finished her/his kid's pack. He was totally riding on a sugar high and marched up and down the aisles. He sat down on steps near where I was sitting and was actually calm. He handed me what I thought was a green skittle and said "Thank you," and put it in my mouth.

Chocolate. It wasn't a Skittle! I was tasting Chocolate and Jack had been combing the floor. "Who knows what he picked up off he floor?", I thought. I spat it out, and started to scrape my tongue. I leaned in to my wife, "Jack just handed me an M&M that he picked up off the floor," I told her. She replied, "Oh, no, Lauren bought some M&M's." I was so relieved.
