Hidden Candy
Michael likes to finish foods he loves. So, if there is a bag of fun size nerds, I sometimes hide it from him so I can dole out a couple at a time. In the process of hiding things from Mikey, I also sometimes outwit myself.
This bag of nerds was tucked away and Mikey found it! I gave him a couple of the little boxes and then promptly hid the bag again in a new spot. See how I might lose track of the current hiding spot? On the upside, when i do clean out a closet, I almost always find a little candy treat. LOL
