Fruit Snack Barricade


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.
