Q1… why was someone on my street giving out Ziploc bags of loose Swedish Fish last night ?

Q2… why did my fucking 14 year old take one and eat it????

Even my 12 year old knew this was sus.

Thoughts…

Loose Swedish Fish = excellent band name

On the flip side, my daughter won’t eat trick or treat candy because she thinks the entire thing is sus. (Editing to add…you can guess who in our house ends up eating all this candy)

Has to be a happy medium. Did your daughter experience any “effects”?

Maybe she sees how much dad likes to eat a single gummie candie?

[Matt]

She’s not wrong.

@SKT i haven’t seen her today but I assume she’s ok.

@GraemeE that reminds me….

[SKT]

I don’t really remember being 14…but parenting a 14 year old boy has reminded me that I must have been disgusting.

@SKT It truly is amazing we made it as far as we did…even though I don’t know how much I’ve matured some times

I was a delight as a child and teen. Still am, even if I do say so myself

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago ahem……bullshit

But I still like you.

I think I had most of the same intentions and instincts it’s just that I’ve honed them to a finer more precise edge over the years.

@SKT hahahahaha

@Tago-Mago you can't be a Brit.

@steelworker my charm and sense of humour come from the German side

How much food do your kids waste annually using IH as currency? I’ll say an N1 and a couple of UHF’s.

[goosehd]

@SKT Yes…and aggravatingly so. I don’t know how to quantify it nor do I want to…
