Birth Of Two Salesmen
Few events inspire more joy than entering the den to find your sofa has been turned into a marketplace where you can purchase the Easter candy you gave your children the day before at a nifty 300% markup.

Very enterprising! I’m tempted to take them up on their offer….the dog ate all my daughter’s candy, including her as-yet-unopened chocolate bunny! Another lesson on “Why We Don’t Leave Things on the Floor When We Have a Lab For a Pet”.
I’m guessing candy salad is all the things that end up at the bottom of the Easter basket. Or do they pick out all the green things? Calling it salad makes it sound so nutritious! I like that! Smart boys!

what’s a candy salad?!! (I agree with VHMom–the boys are smart–they’ve learned that ladies will buy it if it’s called a “salad!”)
Sounds better than barnacles!

Mmmmm….candy salad! Also, our Lab ate all the Easter candy a few years ago, and pooped out colored foil for days, VHMom!

LOL… So this is what it takes to get me to come out of lurk-dom? - I remember at 10 setting up a stall in front of our house together with one of my brothers selling frog-spawn and tadpoles. I had “fished” the tadpoles with a net at a near-by stream and attempted to sell them to our neighbours - not one found a new home! - Chocolate needs to be used up at some point though - it would be a waste - they put those “use by” dates on there for a reason you know, - you’ll be doing the world a favour in reducing the food mountain by buying some…

LOL that is so funny!

Being in the wholesale food business, I can assure you those boys have jobs waiting for them if they can sell at those margins!!! Can they start Monday?

I could really go for one of the reece’s eggs. Those are my fav and I did not get any this year. Are there any of those??

See how much of the candy salad you can shoplift for me. My kids have gotten too precise with their inventory–I can’t snitch a piece or two without their realizing it.
Also, I noted on an earlier post that we must have birthdays a week or so apart and have both hit that old-lady number: 40.
Chin hairs. Ugh. Hand me another chocolate bunny and put me out of my misery.

sounds like they’re ready for the lemonade stand.
on the post about eyes: my dad always told me to never do smaller than 12 pt on a resume b/c the people that make decisions need the type that size. He worked in personnel for awhile.
found you through notes on a napkin.
