My Egg Hell

Addiction can take many forms: alcohol, drugs, even gambling.  For me, addiction manifests itself in a pastel candy shell.  That's right: I'm strung out on Cadbury Mini Eggs.  And to my competing joy and vexation, Mini Egg season is upon us.  Yes, I tend to rush spring, but seriously, Cadbury?  Must you do this to me?  Easter is April 26.  I bought my first Mini Eggs of the year on January 28.  I would have bought them sooner, but the first time I saw them in a store, Charlotte was with me.  You can't buy your stash in front of your kid--that's just wrong.  (Plus, she would want some, and I can't share.) Why sell the seductive ovoid menace THREE MONTHS before the holiday it's associated with?  To mess with me, that's why.  So I will spend the next three months (and at least a week after that, when they'll be on clearance, DAMN YOU, RITE-AID!) sneaking around eating Mini Eggs, hoping my family won't see the true extent of my addiction.  I'm not proud.

    Hilarious! I feel your pain - I'm addicted to the Brach's pumpkins at Halloween.

    Every time I see (or eat) those pumpkins, I think of you!

    And you shouldn't. You have to teach your kids that nothing comes for free. ;)
