My Candy Ho

I am a “call it like I see it kinda gal”. So even though I have some reservations about this post, I must stay true to myself.

Here it goes… My daughter is a “Candy Ho”. Yes I know, it’s terrible. I just called my daughter a “Ho”. But it is true!! She will seriously do anything for anyone for candy. It’s no lie. She will beg, borrow or steal to get her sugar. It is all she can think or talk about. Halloween was a nightmare. We would go into a store and see the isles of candy and she would start shaking. “Mama, candy!!” “Can I have candy?” "Oh, look at all the candy” “Can I just hold it?” “Just hold it, please?"

THEN anytime you opened the pantry door up she would see the candy and forget all about what she was doing and start talking candy talk. The Halloween candy lasted two days. I had to get it out of the house. I had to hide it. I had to get the candy crack away and fast!

Y’all I am serious! You say candy and her eyeballs just about pop out of her head. She takes a nap for candy, she will play quietly for candy (well, just long enough to get the candy, eat the candy and then ask for more candy – but hey I’ll take it) she will dance for candy, share for candy, and sing for candy. The only thing she won’t do for candy is go potty. Although she will tell any stranger on the street if they will listen that if she goes potty that she will get candy. She has yet to do it, but she will tell you all about it if she can bend your ear.

So there you go. My girl is a Candy Ho.

I guess better to be a "Candy Ho" than any other type of ho... at least until she's about 12 or 13!!!

My daughter would do anything for a cookie!
