Help! I have no chocolate.
Yesterday when we went to the shops, I treated Littleone and myself to a bar of chocolate. She ate her one straight away and I thought I’d put mine on top of the fridge saving it until later. It is a testament to how busy I have been that I forgot all about it until this evening. The thing was once I knew it was there I found it near on impossible to ignore the thing, only problem was Littleone was still awake and I’ll share most things (household chores, heavy shopping, jokes) but come on, this was a bar of chocolate and a small one at that.
Well I tried so hard to wait until Littleone was in bed but it just wasn’t working so I fell under that chocolate deprived delusion that I could stick a video on for her whilst I had a sneaky munch in the kitchen.
Of course what I forgot was that all children have a built in ultra sensitive choccy wrapper detector right inside their ear, there is no escape and so while I was desperately tying to swallow the first two squares, I was sprung,
‘What are you eating Mummy?’
‘Nomwaffthiwmmmng’ I said trying to hide the rest of the bar behind my back.
‘Is it chocolate?’
‘Well sort of.’
‘Can we share it?’
I reluctantly handed over four squares, keeping another six for myself hiding inside the wrapper.
She looked down upon her (un) fair share and replied
‘No Mummy. I said SHARE!’
‘But I DID share.’ I said stamping my feet.
‘No you didn’t’
‘Did. Did. D….’
I stopped in my tracks for that darling child had broken her squares in half and was offering me two back.
How guilty did I feel?!
So guilty that I had to give her the rest of the bar.
Regret it now though..
