If
I sneak seventy percent of the Halloween candy, there's a hundred
percent chance I'll gain weight. The
chance of cavities decreases by forty percent.
The
things a mother does for her children.
This was written for this week's Trifecta Writing Challenge. Andy Rooney created something called “The 50-50-90 rule: anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.” We want you to give us your own probability equation. Use whichever numbers suit you, and make it about whatever you like, but give us something to think about. In 33 words, of course. Good luck! And we will see you back here on Monday for our Anniversary Challenge!
hhahahaa! too good!
ReplyDeleteToo good. Yes that's the problem. Those peanut butter cups...Thanks for reading!
ReplyDeletelol Such a great mom! :D
ReplyDeleteYes, after all, I won't have to put up with THEM getting fillings, and I already have a head full of them.
ReplyDeleteHaha! A clever surprise ending.
ReplyDeleteNow that you have run the numbers for me, I feel so much better about wolfing down all the Snickers bars! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou're a great mom! Pediatric dental care is very important. :-)
ReplyDeleteMother's love :)
ReplyDeleteA very fine mother. Just today someone begged me to take a couple of Halloween peanut butter cups off their hands. I politely obliged. 100% of them are now attached to my belly. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteI love this one! I was just complaining about "having to eat" all the peanut Halloween candies since my son has a peanut allergy (and OMG they're so good--we never have any around the house otherwise!). The thing moms do for her kids, I tell ya! Great one!
ReplyDeleteI've been helping the kids, too! My waistline is a 'big' sacrifice for them :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so refreshing to see someone putting their children first. :-)
ReplyDelete*giggle* You totally cracked me up with this. We just finished the leftover Halloween candy ourselves...
ReplyDeleteNow that was funny and a neat piece of parental logic.
