Drabble by Kevin Fagan for September 25, 2021

BUSTED!!!

Bob likes candy corn. He thus looks forward to Halloween each year. As a practitioner of Zen, Bob lives in the present, though, and will gladly eat candy corn at any time. One could do worse than to follow Bob’s fowl example — and get one’s mind firmly situated in the present. Burn the past, except for its good lessons, and act wisely and calmly in the present. The future, then, will be an opportunity for further enlightenment and joy. What could be a better way to live? Bob is happy in his role as a resident rare South American parrot living in the Drabble household. All hail to Bob!

Not too bad a price, though I just checked my Kroger’s and they have 10 oz bags 5 for $5.

I miss the weird flavorings of candy corn. That and pumpkin spice kitkats.

I luv Candy Corn but very sweet.

She can’t figure out the obvious?

Her mind was partially somewhere else, and not fully aware of who she was talking to, otherwise she would have simply said “I see you have already eaten one”. :D

Honeybunch should take the car keys to keep this from happening again.

She was trying to be sort of polite about it as I’m sure she knew why. What surprised me was that only 1 not all 3 were empty.

All hail the flag of Fall!

If I ever had that much sugar in one sitting, my teeth would fall off and never sleep for a week.

Candy corn…MAJOR YUCK. 99% sugar.

You really had to ask, June?

As a kid, I used to eat the white tips off the point. Then the top, before eating the middle. I know, I’m weird because I still do.

What he meant to say is he’s gonna march right back there and get 3 more bags.

One of my fave fall perks is CANDY CORN. My dad used to call it Chicken Corn.. Maybe a 1930s Brooklyn thing.

Candy Corn…. even as a kid I didn’t like it.
