Chocolate linked to memory problems?
As a special treat for Easter, I bought Grant and me a Cadbury Wunderbar Egg. We have been so good on this diet and I thought we deserved some chocolate. On Easter morning I presented Grant with his egg. He immediately devoured it. I, on the other hand, have become fond of delayed pleasure, so I decided to wait until later.
Shortly after dinner, I decided to take a bath and after a lovely soak, I knew it was time to savor my chocolate. But when I went down to the kitchen, my egg was MISSING!
I instantly suspected my younger step-son, but he denied it, as did Grant. The older boy isn't eating chocolate at all, so unless he decided to swipe it to give to a friend, it was unlikely that he had taken it. There was no wrapper to be found on the floor, so that ruled out the dog. And yes, for those of you with dogs, I did make a cursory examination the following morning when I walked her. As for the cat, I have a hard enough time getting her to eat anything, so I doubt she's added chocolate eggs to her diet. The day ends without my special treat and I am sad.
Today, I'm at the store and noticed a display of the same Cadbury eggs. Yippee! a chance to make up for my loss on Easter day. I grabbed one and went to the checkout stand. I held on to it while the clerk checked through my groceries. When she checked the egg through, she commented how good they were, so I shared my tragic story with her. We chuckle about it together.
I finish paying and start to push my cart away, when I decide that I want my egg right now! So I look in the bag that I think the clerk put it in. No egg. I look in another bag. Still no egg. At this point, the clerk notices and I ask her which bag she put it in. She indicates one of the bags that I have already checked, so I check it again. Again...NO EGG.
The girl stops checking through the next customer, who undoubtably thinks we are mad, and starts looking through the grocery bags. No damn egg anywhere! Both she and I are getting really frustrated and I make a comment about the universe not wanting me to have a damn Cadbury egg and WHAT IT UP WITH THAT????
I am nattering on when I suddenly find myself saying "Wait, did I take it from you?" and I reach into my jacket pocket and find the chocolate egg.
I am a complete dork.

Rofl sorry, I laugh because it's something I'd do!!
At least you got your egg in the end, which is what matters.

I'm all confused of where that original egg could be. Did you check behind the refrigerator? Under the entertainment center? I can't stand the not-knowing.
The original egg has yet to materialize. I looked in every place I could think of and still, no egg.[shrugs]
Your missing egg reminds me of that dinner scene from The Little Mermaid. Prince Eric's guardian/advisor? says, "Now, let's eat before this crab wanders off my plate." Of course, the crab is already gone by then.
*gasp* Maybe your egg hatched!
Yeah, well I blame Spike! Stupid bad eggs.
The universe keeping caaaandy from you?!?!?
*much shuddering of Bears*
That's a horriboo thought!
OK Bye
