Who remembers to leave him a slice! I hide. Right now, I have my own personal stash of cookies hidden in a zipped lunch tote in the cabinet. I see that we're not the only nutty family.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180243708565855383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-6544530691898134402016-02-19T02:45:04.751-05:002016-02-19T02:45:04.751-05:00Apparently, in your house, there is only one rule....Apparently, in your house, there is only one rule.<br />Do Not touch Any Food that isn't handed to you by Mrs Cranky and even then ask before eating it.<br />I think she's going over the top a bit by suddenly wanting the three day old cake. As for hiding the other stuff, why doesn't she just tell you it's hers?

I ...I'll have to side with Mrs. C on this one.<br /><br />I don't know what makes you guys think you can just help yourselves to any food you find in your house! If you didn't ask for it, and it's not one of the staples, then IT'S NOT FOR YOU! That's a pretty simple rule. There's nothing preventing you from putting treats for yourself on the list, or going to the store to buy them...<br /><br />What kind of person eats half of somebody's leftover muffin? You raised a ruckus over not wanting leftover water, so Mrs. C thought her half-muffin was safe.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-13610998937941740222016-02-18T20:06:54.367-05:002016-02-18T20:06:54.367-05:00I have a feeling that list would be long and compl...I have a feeling that list would be long and complicated!<br /><br />Don't you do the grocery shopping?

However, I have been known, since I try to stay away from snacks and sweets, to occasionally sample this or that; but then I usually come clean and tell him what I've consumed of his. Thankfully our tastes on things like this are not similar so they don't tempt me, but that chocolate cake would have indeed been tempting.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-16186046437425929972016-02-18T05:53:20.075-05:002016-02-18T05:53:20.075-05:00It all sounds very complicated!

I also know that SD's Mum gave them to him so that he, Miss Mac and myself could have one each. I know this because last week SD's Mum gave three cream eggs to me and I put them in the cupboard but when SD hadn't eaten his by Thursday I ate it. He didn't mention the egg so I figured he didn't know about it. I'm begining to suspect I was wrong. I'm not sure what to do now - technically I don't know about the hidden eggs because well, it's SD's bag and I have no reason to be looking in there BUT ... If I just ate one he can't really say anything without admitting he was hiding the eggs can he??Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402703967636964187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-88420867006196759272016-02-18T01:12:01.778-05:002016-02-18T01:12:01.778-05:00What the heck? do you live there, or not?
