Confession


Since it's Sunday and all, I thought this post would be appropriate ;)

I saw these delicious babies at the store a couple weeks ago. I thought they'd make a perfect Valentine treat for Elle--no nuts, nothing hard or crunchy--PERFECT!

Then, I got to thinking how much I like Jr. Mints. . .

I thought maybe a better idea would be to open them, eat a couple, then give Elle one at a time attached to cute little notes during the week!

But. . .

I never got around to writing little notes. . .

Or sharing ANY of the Jr. Mints with Elle!

I ate them ALL!!

I KNOW!

I'm such a bad mommy :(

I vowed to buy a new box for Elle and NOT eat a single one. . .

But I couldn't find any!!

ANYWHERE!!

I couldn't remember where I had gotten them!
I've only been to two stores that would carry them since we moved here, so I went back to these stores multiple times over the past two weeks and NO HEART SHAPED JR. MINTS!!

Then, one day, Elle and I were at the store and she said, "Don't those Jr. Mints look good, Mom?"

*sniff* (plus pangs of guilt)

They were just regular Jr. Mints though.

*sigh*

But FINALLY!! FINALLY!!

Last night, Chris and I were out on a date and we stopped at the store and I went to the Valentine section and lo and behold!




THE HEART SHAPED JR. MINTS WERE BACK!!

Naturally, I bought them and confessed the whole story to Chris, who laughed heartily at my expense.

He also had a good laugh over this. (I might just have to buy him one for Valentine's Day :)

You'll be proud to know that I haven't even been tempted to eat a single mint

yet. . . :)

The end.

I LoVE Jr. Mints!

Especially heart shaped ones, I'm sure.

I can't blame you for eating the whole thing. :O)

Don't feel too bad. I am guilty of buying/saving various treats for Derek that never actually make it to him. I find that I only get in trouble when I can't suppress my guilty confession. What he doesn't know...

Do the hearts really bleed red? Cuz that is a little disturbing.

You are seriously hilarious. I'm glad you found a replacement box. I wouldn't, by any means, say you are a bad mom though. You should definitely share that story with Elle one day....when she's older....and won't be upset that you ate her box of junior mints. Ha....hilarious!

Jeanne said...

That's too funny!! But I've never seen those mints before. Now I'll have to be on the look out.

Tell Elle the story now...she'll laugh with you. :)

And I want to know too...are some of them red inside really? 'Cause that may be a little gross.

Nanette said...

They ARE red inside--in some. Some are the regular white.
It's not gross--it looks like red frosting, not an oozing heart. ;)

I really got a good chuckle! Thanks. I'm glad you found more. And I love the chocolate fish.

Kristen said...

sounds like you had better buy a FEW boxes....

Lisa said...

You can get these at Target, individually wrapped in a bag.

A Seinfeld quote about Junior Mints (not noted in the link below) It's chocolate, it's peppermint, it's delicious! It's very refreshing!""

That's hilarious. I'm glad it's more like red icing, because I thought it looked like a bleeding heart on the package too. Not so romantic....
