Hiding chocolate...

Do you see what I see???  Tucked in there behind Bryan's shirts amongst his boxes of bullets....
Look a little more closely:

That would be MY chocolate orange.  I could've sworn I had stashed two of them in my not- so secret chocolate drawer in my bedside table.  When I went looking for it and only found the remnants of box and gold wrapper...I scratched my head and thought and thought.  Had I opened and eaten the second one?  I didn't remember doing so.  I thought I'd only eaten the first.  But in the midst of the crazy Christmas season...a time when the chocoholic in me tends to manifest itself a little more decidedly...maybe I had mindlessly whacked and unwrapped the thing and had been snitching on it all along, not really paying attention.  Hmmm.

But then yesterday Lilian kept begging for chocolate.  Specifically for the chocolate she was sure was hiding in my closet.  I smiled.  As much as I wished she were correct, I confidently informed her that there was absolutely NO chocolate in my closet.  So I was rather stunned when she pulled back Bryan's shirts to reveal my second chocolate orange....the one that I had convinced myself that I must've eaten....hiding there. 

BRYAN!!!

Well...I have to say, if he hadn't hidden it away, I wouldn't be having the pleasure of snacking on it today.  So for that, at least, I am grateful.
