Our heroine was recently informed that she will not be receiving a formal gift basket ... apparently she is too old for candy. Naturally she was devastated, knowing that the Mysterious Bearded Man with whom our heroine resides will be travelling to the Steel City, where he will undoubtedly devour all the candy bestowed on him by his loving family, including the 1 lb solid chocolate egg that is an admirable annual tradition (flowers on top are edible).
As if having a giant cage on her leg wasn't enough, now she is forced to cope with the epic loss of her 2nd most treasured annual candy binge (ranking after Halloween, before Valentines day). But once more the Amazing-One Legged Girl triumphs in the face of adversity,
heading straight to her local Walgreen's and stocking up on all her favorites to share with her siblings (who will also feel the effects of this tragedy). While there she purposely ignored those malted milk balls that she has secretly hated for years. She will revive what once was a weekly Friday ritual growing up...the sacred candy cup. A weekly dose of a hodgepodge of sweetness.
Take that easter bunny.
As any chef would, our heroine needed to test her candy combo prior to sharing with her siblings. In her attempt to stealthily open the bag of pastel colored-peanut M&Ms...an explosion occurred, candy went everywhere, forcing her to eat far more M&Ms than initially intended, for safety sake.
Add this to the list of sacrifices our heroine makes for the ones she loves. A small example of her overwhelmingly benevolent nature.
