Sick of "Ween"


I am sorry Campbell has been introduced to candy. It is ruining my life. Since Halloween he is obsessed with "ween" (candy) and asks for it all the time. He doesn't want to eat food, of course he'd rather eat "ween". I realize I am the adult, the gatekeeper that decides if he gets to eat it or not, but my current plan is to get rid of it as fast as possible so it is all gone.


It wouldn't be much of a problem if he could eat it properly but every piece of candy turns into a sticky mess. Suckers, starbursts and laffy taffys he holds in his hand, in and out of his mouth while he touches every surface of the house.

Two days ago the obsession was hilariously emphasized... still a bit off schedule d/t daylight saving time, Campbell woke up at 6 am. First words: "Ween? ween? ween?! ween??" Luckily Adam was able to pursuade him to go back to sleep.

Anyway, I no doubt realize that this is a very minor problem on the grand scale of life; however, thought I'd share our current days of sticky hands, sticky clothes, whining, momentary happiness followed by begging, and more stickiness.
