I have something to confess....

 I have something to confess. I did a bad thing.  I hid in the laundry room and scarfed my kids Smarties.  No one saw me or heard me.  I disposed of the evidence outside in the recycle bin.  And yet now I feel it.  Guilt.

How could I tell my children with a straight face that they could only have 10 Smarties each because candy isn’t good for them, and then, at the first opportunity, hide from them and eat all of their candy?  Sacred candy from Nonna no less?  What is wrong with me?

Afterward, I was too full to eat lunch with the kids, so we headed outside to go for a bike ride.

When I heard my daughters’ accusatory voice screech my name I didn’t have to turn around to know she had seen the Smarties boxes in the blue bin.  I contemplated denial, or blaming her father, but I do that too often and she sees through me now.

I had no excuse.  I apologized and told her I really wouldn’t do it again, wiped crying eyes and got ready to ride to the corner store to make up for my appalling lack of willpower.

I am an environmentalist, but next time I’m weak, recycling be damned, I’m using the garbage can!  And then I’ll feel guilty about that too.
