Don't play with your food...

I've said this very phrase so many times I can't even count. I remember hearing it as a kid, and thinking it was a dumb thing to say. I mean, what good is something if you can't play with it? But as the big bad grumpy mom cleaning up the results of playing with food, I get it. I totally get it. I STILL don't get why it's not ok to jump on the bed, though. (I get if you have a bed frame/box springs, etc...but Merrick's bed is just stacked on the floor. So I decided "why not?")

Anyway, I have decided that playing with food is ok on occasion. That occasion being I want to Instagram you playing with your food. ;) I figured Valentine's candy corn fangs needed to be shared with the world. And the likelihood of these hitting the floor and someone not eating them anyway is very slim. (We adhere strictly to the "I will pretend did NOT see you actually eat that off the floor" rule...similar to a 5 second rule, but grosser, I suppose.)

So, maybe I'm not such a lame mom after all. Although I did just yell "because I said so". Lost major points there. But hey, it happens to the best of us.
