Mum's Tuck Box

[ailbhe]

In spite of my gut-reaction being negative, I think I will have a private stash of special food children aren't allowed to raid. They are good about my private things, like my desk and my art materials.

It just feels wrong to do it with food.

But I really need to know that when I stumble irritably towards the cereal bars, they'll be there, and not have the tops bitten off to see which one is nicest.

My mum's rules when I was a child was help yourself to the fruit bowl, tap water & squash that she'd made up & put into a jug in the fridge. Anything else had to be asked for. I respected the rules, my brother used to sneak biscuits & chocolate. He still lives at home & still lives on biscuits & crisps out of my parent's cupboards, so I think you're right. When we go & stay at my parents, I ask permission to use any food that we haven't bought.
