Throwback Thursday - Five M&Ms

 

In case you don't know, Himself and I grew up next door to each other. He was the oldest in his family and as a child I was always over his house playing with him and his two sisters and two brothers.

His mother loved M&M candies. Candy coated chocolate that "melt in your mouth but not in your hand". Whenever she would dole out the treat, each kid got 5 candies. The rest were hers. 

She loved the candy so much that one night while Himself and I were dating, I was over the house and we were all watching  Duel in the Sun

In the middle of the movie, his mother got a craving for M&Ms, and she gave Himself money and asked him to drive to the store to get a bag. When we got back she opened the treat and gave us each 5 M& Ms. 

So now the joke whenever M&Ms or other small candies are in the house, and I ask Himself if he'd like some, I always give him 5 candies just like his mother did. The rest are mine. 😉
