Dear Brats,

If I am nice enough to buy you candy, please don’t use the door handle in my car as your personal trash can for the wrappers the candy came in.

Love,

Mom

    Kris, you are not alone with this request. I have the exact same problem! Ali with either put the wrappers in the door, or in my cup holders. Plus, I’ve got Laffy Taffy wrappers in my driveway, that she has yet to clean up, that came out of the door when a breeze hit. I think there’s a granola bar wrapper out there, too.

    Threatening to never buy candy again doesn’t phase her, either. I’ve resulted in putting McDonald’s bags in her spot. Man does that piss her off! All I hear is moaning and grumbling under her breath, as she’s cleaning her wrappers. Mostly she’s mumbling things like “Bummer! That’s not fair! Why do I have to clean up… it’s not MY car! I NEVER get to go to McDonald’s!” She cracks me up with the things she’ll spout out when mad. But, it works! I only use it as a last resort though, after threatening her life fails. LOL!

    But mom, you said not to throw them on the floor or out the window – what are we supposed to do with them? Isn’t that what that space is for?

    Kris, I bet that wasn’t toast. It was probably just week old stale bread that hardened! LOL :)
