Blonde Boy With A Bag of M&M’s

Michele | Adlib, Motor Mouth & Smart Aleck | Saturday, 29 September 2007

Have you heard the joke about the blonde that got fired from the M&M factory for throwing out the candies with “W” on it? This joke flashed back to me today when Wrangler walked in the room with a snack size bag of M&M’s.

Wranger: Mom, what’s your favorite letter?
Me: I don’t know. I’ve never thought about it. Why?
Wrangler: Because if I can find that letter in my candy, I’ll give it you because I love you.

So I’m sitting there trying to hold a straight face while also feeling warm fuzzies because he’s being so sweet about it and showing that he knows his ABC’s. I debate in my mind for a few seconds on if I should say “M”, “W” or throw him for a loop and ask for “Z”.

Me: My favorite letter is “M” for Mom because I love you too, baby.
Wrangler: Wow, Mom… ALL of these candies have “M” on them!
Me: Holy cow, they sure do! Do I get the whole bag now?
Wrangler: (slightly panicked because his sharing idea is quickly backfiring) Why don’t I just give you the ones that are your favorite color?

How could I say no? ;-)
