A mouth full of sweet teeth

"Disco Gummi Bears" at a farmers market in Poland

Yes, it's true. I'm addicted to candy! Last Saturday I ate gummi bears and Reeses Pieces for dinner and hardly felt remorseful at all!

When I was little (living in France at the time), my dad would leave a bowl of change on the kitchen counter. We were allowed to help ourselves should the need arise. I actually "needed" some change quite often. A third grader like me didn't have much impulse control walking from the house to school in the morning and passing by a bakery on the way.

This bakery had rows of bins lining the walls with all sorts of delicious candy. It was a veritable rainbow of sugary heaven, my friends. You paid by the gram, and if I only picked five or six pieces, it only cost about fifty cents!

Every few steps, I would pop another sweet into my mouth, saving the best for last (right before I walked through the school doors)!

Ahhhhh.... I do miss those days!
