Where's the Chocolate?

I keep this little candy dish in the tea room.

I keep it stocked with just a few pieces of chocolate!

I don't fill it up, because when Brilyn

comes she is not finished until

she empties the bowl.

(that girl LOVES chocolate)

One day I was out shopping and I found

this cute little Mickey Mouse!

I bought it to surprise Brilyn!

She loves Mickey Mouse!

But - I didn't want to stick it in my closet

and forget to give it to her, so I came up

with another idea.

I emptied the candy bowl!

BECAUSE...

When the candy bowl is empty, I know

Brilyn will go looking for my

candy stash!

 So, I put Mickey Mouse in the

hidden candy stash that is

really no longer hidden because

once upon a time Brilyn caught

Uncle Deuce restocking

the candy bowl!

(I don't think she forgets anything)

 When Brilyn came over she

immediately ran to the candy bowl!

Oooops! No chocolate!

So... she immediately ran to

the candy stash!

 And look what she found!

Mickey Mouse!

Don't you just love that

look of surprise and happiness

on her face?

I love this happy girl!
