I Hit the Jackpot…But I Didn’t Give In

Stealing candy is wrong

I was minding my own business looking for some food to eat, while I was at my sister’s house, and I came across a stash of candy.

No, not the little bars of candy that only make you more hungry. I’m talking about the full-size Hershey’s, KitKat, and Reese’s. Just looking at all the candy will probably give you diabetes.

I have no idea why she has all that candy in her kitchen. It wasn’t for Halloween. They live next to me, and the closest neighbors they have are cows. No city streets or anything like that.

Maybe it’s for a concession stand for the school basketball games coming up. Who knows. (by the way, I beat my nephew in basketball tonight, but that’s not the point of this pointless article)

I was really tempted to take one or two of these, but then I remembered that I needed to lose some weight, and I would hate to kill all of my progress with a candy bar.

I know it says that the KitKat bar or Reese’s Pieces is only 210 calories, but I literally gain weight whenever I eat anything sweet. That’s just one of my many secret abilities. Another one is walking through invisible spiderwebs or constantly getting swarmed by mosquitos.
