It happened after the initial offer, so I took it as “hey, you are getting something from a stranger for free, you take what you get, and don’t look the proverbial gift horse in the mouth” sort of shush rather than a “hey, don’t stand up for yourself etc…” sort of thing. It would have been different had he mentioned that he was allergic before I tried to ply the potentially deadly reeses on him, but it was the standard “trick or treat” -> “Ok, here’s a few candies” interaction.

I took it as her trying to keep him from looking like an ingrate. It wasn’t a big deal to accommodate his needs, and he ended up doing pretty well on the deal. He was old enough to be a bit embarrassed by the Mom intervention, so he ended up getting a proper handful of lollipops rather than just a couple of pieces of candy…

I saw somebody post this image on FB recently (after one of the mass shootings, I presume). I love it.

I think I’m mildly allergic to cheddar cheese, but I have forgotten what it does to me exactly. Makes my arms itch? Maybe I should eat a block and remind myself.

For a half an hour? Probably should have turned your outdoor lights off then.

Being allergic to gluten means you can eat delicious things that celiacs wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole.
