Can you Say "SUCKA!?"

totally fell hook-line-sinker!

quick last minute run to the store grocery shopping with the boy child last night so I could make cupcakes for the girl child's class today!

remembered that we had ZERO snack type food in the house (today was payday..woot woot!)...
so I swung the cart down the chip/pretzel/popcorn/cracker isle!

boy child wants EVERY bad option there is...

wonderful healthy mom says, "NO, No, no!"

he says,
"look at those good ones!'

I look...
I see the fake cheetos packaged in a brown bag
and my brain hears
"look at these healthy, all organic, no baby seals were killed in the making of these, low sodium, no trans fat, free range snacks that your kids will also love to eat"

bring them home...
take them out of the pantry this morning to realize that I'm an idiot...
these are just generic cheetos, full of all the junk the regulars are filled with...why did my brain see brown and think healthy?
at least they were cheap!...or maybe I just lied to myself about that also...

It's a well known fact that if there's a strong man drawn artistically on the front of the package rather than a cartoon cheetah, that they ARE healthier. Duh. :-)
