Played Candyland with Annelise today. They give you a two turn penalty if you land on licorice. A penalty! In real life if you land on licorice (and by licorice I mean Red Vines. None of that Twizzler crap) you win. Period! What in the hell are we teaching kids?! To fear the Awesome Red Bounty? The only reason you miss a turn would be that you are too busy eatting licorice, and the game did not come with any candy (tease!), so screw you Candyland and your whacked misconceptions of "good" and "evil" candy!
Besides the playing a stupid game we also went to the "Pop Store", 7-11, where she found a penny in the parking lot and wanted to use it to buy some chocolate. She would have never known that the "Pop Store" had chocolate if the apes that shop there had lined up along the registers towards the back instead of back into the candy isle (when you line up perpendicular to the check out people have to walk through the line, which is bad, while lining up parallel causes no such issues). Well, she was OK with no chocolate. It's Monday and that's not a treat day. I told her she could choose that as her treat on Tuesday and she was quite happy, but confused that a penny just would not cut it as payment.
A Proper Line. See, No Chocolates to Tempt Little Ones.
We also took a nap, watched some Sponge Bob, ate some fruit and cheese and mailed some pictures to Grandma.
