Chris has some crazy self-control. That man can have a full
bottle of Nutella in the pantry and not feel the need to test-taste it every
night, and he can even say no to sugar if he ‘isn’t feeling like it’ (which is
an obvious lie-everyone knows that is not humanly possible).
So when we went to the store to pick out little snacks for
when we will be in the hospital, it was like pulling teeth trying to get this
guy to buy anything for himself. He couldn’t feel good about buying something
for himself that we didn’t essentially ‘need.’ But then, I spotted something
that I knew even Chris W. couldn’t turn down. Fruit snacks. As soon as Chris
saw them, his face lit up and he bashfully, yet eagerly, began perusing the different
options. It was an easy sell.
When we got home, we put the hospital stuff in a separate
place in the pantry and hastily put it out of our minds to ease our need for
self-control. Last night I heard Chris remark that we needed to put the fruit
snacks somewhere else because they were tormenting him every time he caught
sight of them.
I woke up this morning to find this:
The most protected fruit snacks in all of Utah |
No one would dare getting through this protective barricade.
