| This resembles me and my bag of pretzel m&m's |
I've already confessed my addiction to pretzel m&ms. Opened up, came out of the closet and shared it with the bloggers of America. I was under the impression that when people talk about their deep dark secrets you gain support and understanding, not made the laughing stock of Addiction's Are Us.
My dear and lovely mother in law is as sweet as they come and doesn't have a mean bone in her body, she's so wonderful she actually bought me the Costco size bag of pretzel m&ms. She knows of my addiction but doesn't judge me because she understands and loves me despite my weaknesses.
The other day she filled the candy bowl over at my Aunts and granny's house, now there's two. The peanut m&ms for the husband and the pretzel ones for me. All is well and good until the other day when I was over at their house for lunch.
I eat lunch at their house on the days I work since they live down the road from my little school.As always, we had a nice visit, but time is short and I needed to take off. I always grab a handful of my m&ms before leaving, it gives me the extra kick I need to finish out the day.
I went to the candy bowl and saw some m&ms but they weren't mine nor were they the peanut ones the husband eats. I could tell right away by the shape and size but I popped one in my mouth just in case.
Just as I suspected, not my candy. I started digging around the bowl thinking mine were mixed in somewhere. I found nothing, NOTHING I tell ya! This is not good, I'm on a time frame here and I needed my fix. I looked at my 95 year old granny and my aunt and asked where my candy coated pretzels were. They acted as if they had no idea what I was talking about.
Me: Where are my m&ms?
Them: I don't know aren't they there?
Me slightly frantic: No these aren't the ones. I'm talking about the pretzel ones!
Them: We don't do anything with them.
Me digging around the cupboards as my heart rate escalates: They were here just the other day, what did you do with them?
Them: I don't know what you're talking about.
Me finding the bag buried deep in the back of a cupboard: Ah ha, here they are! Hey, don't mess with my m&ms, it's like taking cocaine away from an junkie!
I pop a few in my mouth and immediately my heart rate returns to normal and I wipe the sweat beads from my forehead.
Right about the time I found the bag, my aunt calls my dear and lovely mother in law and says, "The verdict is, "Don't mess with my m&ms!"
Are you kidding me, those three hooligan's were all in it together! I can't believe it! They put her on speaker phone and all got a good laugh. Seems like my mother in law thought it would be funny to replace MY m&ms with the peanut butter ones to see if I would notice.
Yeah, I noticed alright! Not that the peanut butter ones were bad or anything but my true love is for the chocolate candy coated pretzel with that touch of salt Pretzel M&M!

They sound like little pranksters!
Your family is a hoot and a holler! :)
And your little *affection* for the pretzel M&M's is the same (ahem) obsession I've been having with a certain tuxedo cake. My thighs are hating me right about now...
Thanks for the giggles!
Bad girls, bad bad girls, I say! How funny, though! Looks like they got you and got you good!
i love that kind of prank. i love that they discussed and tried to predict what you would do.
thumbs up on this family!
Busted ... big time! I'm right there with you, sister, "Don't mess with my M&M's!" will go down in history now! haha!!!
hahahaha! Good one.
If someone did that to me, it would not be so funny. I'm allergic to peanut butter. But I don't eat suspicious M&M's until after asking if they're peanut/peanut butter.
I love the pretzel ones too, they are yummmalicious.
You know, I have a special place for the coconut ones, but you have talked so much about it. I may have to go try one out... If I become an M&M junkie, I am blaming it on you. and your awesome blog.
LOL! Awesome. I am a peanut butter m&m fan myself. I haven't tried the pretzel ones yet.
Not sure I should now, you might come after me! :D
Of course you couldn't be fooled--but they had their fun. I've never tried those m&ms, but I do have chocolate everyday. In a pinch I just eat a handful of choc chips.
Very cruel of your family to tease you like that, but very funny :)
Didn't know you could get pretzel m&ms!
I love that your sweet, 95-year-old granny was in on the joke! ;0) Cruel, I tell you. I love those pretzel M&Ms too ... they are to DIE for (or maybe KILL for, in your case! ;0)
Glad we have a mutual friend in Kelley over at the Breakroom! She's awesome!
Ha Ha - I did that same prank with my parents and their meds ... but it did not turn out so well (just kidding). Cute post! W.C.C.
Hahaha! Too funny! I love the peanut butter ones myself, but I tried the pretzel ones for the first time two weeks ago and they ARE pretty darn good! :) Thanks for the laugh!
That's funny!! I actually have half a bag of those in my pantry. My husband scolded me for buying them and said to never buy them again! I like them, so I'll keep buying them anyway. I wish you were closer, though, and I'd give you my bag! (On another note, thanks for your nice note LAST WEEK- I know I'm late- regarding my jingle for those silly beer commercials. Budweiser SHOULD be flattered, those meanies!!)
NOBODY should mess with an addict. They are just asking for big trouble. Don't they know if they just hand over the pretzel M&Ms, no one will get hurt?
I'm not big on the pretzel m&m's but the coconut ones are pretty yummy!
