The Daddy Complex

mammalingo:

Today.com and iVillage teamed up to conduct a survey about something near and dear to my heart: Halloween candy. They polled 500 parents and found that 71 percent of parents were guilty of helping themselves to their kids’ “Halloween stash.”
There is really only one question: what the hell is wrong with the other 29 percent of parents?
Pictured: Bit O’ Honey. The only kind of candy that I don’t steal from my kids. (And anything with peanuts. As you may remember, I’m allergic.) 

I think we gave the boys one item each from the candy they collected last year. Considering the trick-or-treating was accidental anyway, they didn’t get much, so it’s not like we were gorging ourselves on a mountain of candy.
However, this year we will.
