This is light hearted but my dad’s reaction was so wholesome that I can never tell him that I did it so I thought I’d share here.
When I was thirteen (about eight years ago) my parents left for a dinner with friends and left my brother and I home alone.
A little bit of backstory, my brother and I were known for eating chocolate chips and m&ms before my mom could bake with them.
She had just gotten one of those giant bags of m&ms to make a huge batch of monster cookies. Before she left for the dinner she made a bit of a show weighing the bag on the counter and writing down the amount. She warned me that she would be weighing it when she got home and it better be the exact same weight.
I just laughed and told her we wouldn’t touch them. Problem is, when they left, I went to my room and did not tell my brother what she did. So I came out later and saw my brother with a small cup of m&ms half eaten.
I told my brother and we both kinda panicked and tried to figure out what to do. Apparently just telling my mom that he didn’t know about it didn’t come to mind 🤷♀️.
Anyways, we looked all over the house for more m&ms and didn’t find any. But I found skittles. We got out the scale and poured in skittles until it reached the amount that was written on the notepad near the m&ms.
We thought we were sooooo clever. Then my parents got home and my mom weighed the bag and it was the exact same weight so we joked around about it and then my dad reached in and took a handful of m&ms and dumped them in his mouth. My brother and I exchanged anxious looked and then a wave of confusion came over my father’s face.
He reached in his mouth and pulled out a half chewed skittle. He started laughing and exclaimed “well I’ll be darned, how often does that happen!”
My brother and I sighed in relief and laughed with him.
