Dear Dad,
I know my trip home was completely last-minute and that you have had an extremely full plate with the new house. (Which is absolutely beautiful, by the way. Wowza.)
However, I am a little disappointed in the candy drawer.
I know what you are thinking, dad – people would kill for that candy drawer! Look at the diversity in flavor and sugar content! Yes, you probably are right…but where are the Chick-o-Sticks? The Blow Pops? The Sour Patch Kids? Do you expect me to have my usual gut-ripping stomachaches from eating a Hershey bar? I need the fake sugar chemical stuff! I need familiarity! I am having an emotional crisis!
Where is the LOOOOOOVE, man?
Sincerely,
Your Loving Daughter
p.s. – The Starbursts are stale.

March 5, 2009 at 5:51 pmYour dad rocks! We never had a candy drawer at my house but this makes me think I should implement one for my kid. He’s only two though, so I would end up eating all the candy and that would probably not be so great.

March 5, 2009 at 5:54 pmWhat a cool dad! That’s the best stocked candy drawer I’ve ever seen!

March 5, 2009 at 7:09 pmI know this post is about candy and it is unlike me to not take an opportunity to talk about candy but I just wanted to say that I hope you are okay and all with the last minute trip and the emotional crisis.

March 6, 2009 at 8:08 amChick-o-sticks are the bomb! I, too thought I was the only one that loved them.

March 6, 2009 at 8:49 amA little story about chic-o-sticks. My best friend and I used to eat them as if they were going out of style! We loved them. Well, when I was a junior and she was a senior in high school, she thought she was pregnant. We went to planned parenthood and she took a test. She had to give a password so that she could call and get her results. Her password was… you guessed it, CHIC-O-STICK. She stopped eating them for a while after she found out she was pregnant. She was a little devastated and couldn’t stand to even look at a chic-o-stick. Luckily for us all, her son Charles is a wonderful young man. HE LOVES CHIC-O-STICKS!!

March 6, 2009 at 11:25 amI bet I could eat that entire bag of Twizzlers right now. Le sigh.
Hope the emotional crisis resolves itself/is resolved. They are No Fun.

March 6, 2009 at 9:13 pmA candy drawer? This is brilliant! When I have bigger kitchen with more than just 2 drawers, for sure I’ll have a candy drawer! Although I have a feeling mine will be empty all the time.

March 8, 2009 at 12:51 amThat’s a bad candy drawer? My god, what have I been missing out on?? Oh, and Starburst. Yum. How long does it take for Starburst to go stale?

March 9, 2009 at 12:57 pmI just had a flashback to my grandma’s house, and her “kid cabinet” loaded with everything only kids can eat because if anyone else tries it’s an extra hour and a half at the gym. Or you know, not.
(She used to have something in there called “Potato skins” and they were AMAZING. Not chips and not crackers, but crack-laden potato skins. Mmm, mmm.)

March 9, 2009 at 2:49 pmI was thinking, when I saw that photo, that it was the BEST! CANDY! DRAWER! EVER! Only because I love Twizzlers and Starburst. I could live without chocolate, but I love me some fruity candy.
But then you said the Starburst were stale and I died a little on the inside.
