"Wow, that's a lot of candy for two little girls," Derek commented as he and Emily's daughters settled on the living room floor with their bulging pillow cases full of candy next to them.
"Yeah, we gots lots of candy, Daddy. It was so fun!" Natalie his four-year-old cried.
"Yeah, even Mommy got some," his six-year-old Cassie said.
"Did she now?" Derek asked as his wife came into the room a bag in her hand.
"Yes I did. It's too bad you couldn't come with us," she said as she settled next to their kids.
"I know, I really wanted to, but Strauss demanded I go to that stupid meeting. Well, lets see what kind of lute you got, huh?" he suggested as he joined his family on the floor.
"Yay, it's trading time!" Cassie exclaimed.
"Remember the rules, if someone doesn't want to trade a piece of candy, they don't have to," Emily reminded them.
"We know," they replied in unison. Spreading the candy across the floor the family began picking through it and trading the candies they didn't like for the ones they did. Things were going well until Derek saw something in Emily's hand.
"Wait a minute, what's that?"
"What, oh this? It's an acid Drop. They're known as Sour Balls here in the US."
"What the heck is an Acid Drop?" Derek wondered.
"It's a sour caandy that is common in the UK. I used to get them all the time as a kid. I can't believe I got one tonight," Emily said beaming.
"Can I try it?" Derek requested. Emily shook her head and held the candy tightly in her hand.
"I don't think so," she answered.
"But, please, Em. Just one tiny bite?"
"Daddy, you know the rule. If Mommy doesn't want to give it to you she doesn't have to," Cassie reminded her father.
"Yeah, Daddy," Natalie interjected. The two parents laughed and Derek pouted. Finally he gave up and crossed his arms in defeat.
"Okay, if you don't want to give it to me, that's fine," he said reluctantly. Emily smiled victoriously and raised her hand into the air declaring victory. XXXX
Half an hour later they'd managed to get their two hyper kids in bed and were settled on the couch. Carefully Emily opened the Acid Drop and placed it on her tongue. A happy sound came from her mouth as the confection touched her tongue. She moved in and placed her lips against Derek's letting him taste the candy on her lips and tongue as she eat it.
"So what do you think of Acid Drops?" she asked as she pulled back.
"I like them, but I think I need to eat one all on my own to make sure," he said as he pulled her in for another kiss eager to see if any of the taste from the candy still lingered on her tongue.
Finished!
