The Picture of Easter Greed

ONE YEAR AFTER EASTER MY BOSS, JOHN, GAVE ME ALL OF THE LEFTOVER EASTER CANDY. I DON'T MEAN HE GAVE ME A FEW CHOCOLATE BUNNIES AND A COUPLE OF EGGS; HE GAVE ME AT LEAST A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS WORTH OF CANDY.

I IMMEDIATELY SET OFF FOR LOGAN AND SET UP THE CANDY BUFFET AT SIS' HOUSE. SHE HAS A HUGE DINING ROOM TABLE AND THE CANDY FILLED IT UP FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER. IT WAS PILED ABOUT A FOOT DEEP! I CALLED MY NIECE AND NEPHEW OVER TO SURPRISE THEM.

WHEN THEY SAW ALL THAT CANDY THEY NEARLY FELL OVER WITH EXCITEMENT. AUNT PAM WAS THE QUEEN OF THE WORLD TO THEM THAT DAY! I GAVE EACH OF THEM A GROCERY BAG AND TOLD THEM TO FILL IT UP. THEY DOVE RIGHT IN.

AFTER THEY FILLED THEIR BAGS, MY NEPHEW, ARNY ASKED ME IF HE COULD HAVE A BAG OF CANDY FOR HIS FRIEND, TYLER. I TOLD HIM OF COURSE HE COULD. WHEN BECCA SAW HIM GETTING A SECOND BAG (AND I CAN GUARANTEE YOU HE WAS GOING TO SHARE IT - THAT'S THE KIND OF KID HE WAS) SHE WENT NUTS.

SHE WANTED ANOTHER BAG OF CANDY. I REALLY DIDN'T CARE, SO I TOLD HER TO GO AHEAD AND HELP HERSELF. I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THAT SHE HAD NO INTENTION OF SHARING THAT CANDY EITHER . (THAT'S THE KIND OF KID SHE WAS TOO) AFTER SHE FILLED THE SECOND BAG, SHE ACTUALLY STOOD THERE CRYING AND WAILING THAT SHE NEEDED ANOTHER BAG TO GIVE TO HER FRIENDS.

I WATCHED HER STANDING THERE HOLDING TWO GIANT BAGS OF CANDY AT HER SIDES COMPLETELY FREAKING OUT. I REALLY HAD NOTHING TO LOSE SO I TOLD HER TO GET A THIRD BAG FOR HER FRIENDS. SHE DID. I KNOW THAT NOBODY BUT HER EVER SAW A MORSEL OF THAT CANDY EITHER. BUT I AM HER AUNT, NOT HER MOTHER, I COULD INDULGE HER ALL THAT I WANTED.

IT WAS HILARIOUS
