My hips don't lie

I hear about it every year . . .
Moms all over the country (ok, maybe I am exaggerating a little) talking about how they make their children trade their halloween candy for a toy.

Reasons: Candy is unhealthy.
Candy rots the teeth.
Candy contains too much sugar.
Candy makes your hips wider than wide.
(I had to add that one)


Yep, Candy does all of the above.
IT SURE CAN.

Question ??

If you don't plan to give your kid the candy. WHY GO TRICK or TREATING?
That's like waving candy in front of a kid's face.
Uh, really
It.Is.

Ok, Ok...
Maybe you go trick or treating for the "FUN".
If that is the case, I have another solution.
When you get home PUT THE CANDY AWAY instead of sitting it right there in front of Junior's face.


A little tip:
If the candy sits in the cabinet long enough, Junior will forget all about it.
Which is a good thing around here......



Candy?
What Candy?
Where did the candy go?
Hey, don't look at me.

OR MY HIPS

I've also heard that people do this with candy that comes in their kid's stockings and Easter baskets.

DOH!
:shaking head:
Just don't buy it.
REALLY

But seriously....
Do you do this?
Take kid trick or treating only to have him trade candy for something else
Leave me a comment.
I'm curious.
