DRAT!

I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but this time of year, I always treat myself to a Cadbury egg. I bought one a few days ago and threw it in a kitchen drawer to enjoy later. Yesterday afternoon, I decided to take it out for my midafternoon snack, but I was doomed to disappointment. When I opened the drawer, I saw that my candy egg was not only unwrapped but also half-eaten. And the part that was not eaten had teeth marks on it. Some times, I'm willing to share my snacks with critters, if, for instance, they've taken only a nibble of my food. This time, though, I left the half-eaten egg and closed the drawer. I thought briefly about throwing the remainder in the trash, but that seemed spiteful. The critter had claimed its prize and deserved to keep it. Now I need to have a firm discussion with my cats.
