Good Morning and here we are again!
I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I couldn't really take or leave chocolate when it's sitting around the house. Not that I don't mind having a little now and again, but it's not like I can smell it through the door.
There is a lot of chocolate in the house right now thanks to Easter. It's in baskets. It's on the table. It's in the cabinets.
I know I have to watch out, but when a 7-year old asks for some, well, it's hard to say 'No' all the time.
So, I just let them have it. Is that bad? I don't know.
I feel it's a lot like cursing, if you hold the chocolate out there and make them beg, they are going to want more. If you let them eat it, they may just leave it alone.
I'll let you know how it works out.

RISE AND SHINE
GOOD MORNING, DELAWARE COUNTY!
You know, there are certain days throughout the year you just let it go.
Everybody, well, OK, some, try to eat healthy. We add vegetables to our diets, we drink a lot of water, we pass on the second slice of pie.
Then, there is Easter Sunday.
Maybe it goes back to childhood when the entire Easter basket was eaten about five minutes after getting up. Maybe it's the incredible pull sugar has on our system, but Easter candy has a pull that's impossible to pass.
So, about five minutes after rising, there is no choice but to let the children dig in.
Now, normally, jelly beans and chocolate bunnies for breakfast would be a no-no. Well, at least the jelly bean part.
Easter Sunday, though, wrappers hit the floor and chocolate ran out of the mouths.
It continued like this through a visit to Grandma's house and then before dinner.
At dinner, though, the candy is starting to kick in.
"My stomach hurts."
Well, maybe it's a good lesson. Try to save some of the candy for the rest of week.
"But, my stomach hurts."
OK, eat some of the broccoli, that will help.
"My stomach hurts."
OK, what will help?
"Uh, can I have another chocolate."
