As a kid i wasn’t the best behaved, there was a Halloween night where i didn’t go trick or treating because i was sick, my friend Jamal didn’t want me to miss out on Halloween so he did his best and got twice as much candy so that he could share it with me.

my dad, being the protective person he is, decides that he should check the candy before i eat it to make sure there was nothing in it, but something came up and he had to go to work for a little bit, he promised that when he came back  he would buy more candy so we can watch a horror movie while we eat it.

me being a kid i didn’t have much patience so i ate almost all of it before he came back, when he did come back he saw the bag that was filled halfway with candy almost empty, he didn’t get mad at me instead he talked with me and explained that i needed to know the value of self control.

later that night, i ate what little candy i  had left with some butter popcorn while we sat and watched horror movies with my older sister for the rest of the night.
