We’re in the kitchen when Jay takes a York Peppermint Pattie from the bag and starts to unwrap it.
Me: Aha! Helping yourself to a little morsel of holiday cheer, are ya?
Jay: Well I thought I’d better have one before they’re ALL GONE. (he raises an eyebrow and looks at me pointedly)
Me: Geesh! Do you have to be SO RUDE?
Jay: Well you’re eating them like they’re going out of style.*
Me: (dramatically) I don’t know why I expect anything else. You’re always rude, lately.
Jay: I am NOT!
Me: You are TOO!
Jay: Am NOT!
Me: ARE TOO!
Jay: (pauses, and then) Well, I guess I could have more of a filter on what comes out of my mouth.
Me: Yeah. Like a MUZZLE.
*I don’t know why, but I CANNOT GET ENOUGH York Peppermint Patties lately. I want to eat them ALL THE TIME! They are so delicious with the chocolate and the mint and the ooooohhhh I wish I had one RIGHT NOW!

I don’t know if you ever eat at Burger King (because I can’t fallow you 24 hours a day) but they have a York Peppermint Patty Pie right now. It’s not too shabby if you like drive-through pie.

Sounds like something my hubby would say except with the way my hormones are right now he knows better. It would be a crying “I am not fat, I am pregnant. Why do you pick on what I eat” moment that just wouldn’t be worth his little rude comment.

Um, is he buried in a shallow grave out back? I’ll help with that if you need it, lol!

York Peppermint Patties… mmmm. My all time favorite candy! A bag lasts… oh, maybe a day in our house! And that’s if my hubby doesn’t know they’re there!
BTW, love the Christmas decorations here!

Mmmmmmm… I love those!!! And that sounds like a conversation Christian and I have had time and time again. Actually, just yesterday- over cupcakes, lol.

I love those too–especially when they’ve been in the fridge and are nice and cold. MMMMMMMMMMMM. And I am with Jennifer on the “cravings” comment …interesting. :)

Where do you buy a good muzzle? Let me know! Those mints are very refreshing though.

I had the very same first thought as Le Binky Bitch!!!
I do love the peppermint patties myself – I am not a fan of most chocolate here (I still keep eating it though, you know, to see if it’s improved any *ahem*), but the peppermint patties rock my world, too. Imagine them made into hot chocolate???

OMG! Now I really want a peppermint patty. MMMMMM! Not a very nice thing to do to the pregnant girl.
