Candy

Lauren never stops amazing me. Before Easter I bought a bag of the Reeses Peanut Butter Eggs - I love these and they are only out at Easter. Like all candy that is brought into my home, it has to be hidden both from my daughter and my dog. So I had stashed the bag on the counter behind some things. One day after work, while I was making dinner and Lauren was outside playing, I decided to have one of the eggs. I quickly ate it before anyone (Lauren) saw me. In our house we have a rule: "No snacks before dinner." So if I was going to break my own rule I had to make sure no one saw me. :) Not more than 30 seconds after I swallowed the last bite, in walks Lauren.

She immediately stops in her tracks and says "What are you eating?"
I lie, of course, and say "Nothing."
She stares at me intently and then sniffs the airs. "I smell peanut butter. Did you eat peanut butter?"

I about fell over when she says this. At this point, I am amazed at her perception and so I give in and let her have one of the eggs. Seriously, I can't believe she could smell the peanut butter from the candy!
