The Editors Thank “Mommy” For The Excuse To Eat More Candy

(I’m deep into potty training my 2.5-year-old. Today, I send her off with her father while I laze around a bit before going to work. I get home and we do dinner and bedtime routine, but I apparently forgot to put away my stash of Reese’s I’d been devouring as “breakfast” before I brought my darling in for bedtime snuggles. My keen daughter catches her eye on the bright orange package.)

Daughter: “Mama, is that a treat?”

Me: “Uhh, yeah. That’s Mommy’s treat for using the potty all week.”

Daughter: “Wow! Way to go, Mama!”
