Taking candy from a baby!! Who the hell here thought it was easy?


Yesterday, I tried snatching a chocolate candy from my 4-year old grand-daughter.

Boy, did she fight me tooth and nail, kicking, punching, biting and generally giving me hell for leather!!

Who said taking candy from a baby was easy?

We have the annual Halloween "Trick-or-Treat" festivities coming up here in a couple of weeks.

You think it's hard taking a candy bar away from a 4 year old...

Try taking a sack of candy away from an adolescent Ghost or Ghoule, Witch or Goblin....

Next time try distraction. Run the flock through the house; during the commotion make your move. Easy as chocolate pie.

I've seen your grandkids. They look like they can give Grandpa the what for alright.

Mighty cute, though.

They learned from the best, the ones that are standing outside
Crash course, "how to get JJ of your back".

Sorry JJ couldn't resist, from now on I'll try to refrain from such things

LOL. My money's still on the four-year old, JJ. Especially when it comes to chocolate. I learned a long time ago to never, ever get in between a kid and their chocolate bar.

Shame on you, JJ. I can't believe you would do such a thing.........without a significant bribe in the mix!
