Clayton: Can I have a piece of your Halloween candy? Katy: What happened to yours? Clayton: It got eaten. Katy: hat's because you don't make it last. You wolf it down. you have to pace yourself, Clayton. Have some self-control. See? I've split mine into twelve baggies. One per day. it just takes a little forethought. Clayton: Are you done? Dad ate my candy. Katy: that's why I store mine in the vegetable drawer. He never finds it.
Again I wonder: what the heck is it with parents eating their kids’ candy?! I don’t ever remember that happening to me; our candy was ours, period, so I never saw any need to try and hide it from prying parental paws. Yes, I know it’s just a comic, as some would probably chide me, and maybe it happens more in comics than in real life, yet it annoys me just the same.
