When mummy pushes the buggy and sounds muffled talking it’s because she is eating a sneaky chocolate bar ! When mummy says look at that dinosaur flying past she popped a cookie in her mouth while your head was turned. Oh yes three kids in and I’ve perfected sneaky eating.
I may have peed a little laughing at this. My three year old doesn’t yet recognize the sound of the oreos being opened, so I can still stealthily sneak a whole one in my mouth and claim I’m eating a “mommy snack”. I wonder when she’ll figure out what’s been going on.
This also works with husbands, lol, I’ve bee known to hide snacks in places that men & teenagers will seldom look, cookies are always safe in the laundry room or the dish washer
My kids -all male–are 56, 23,21and 16 (okay, technically the 56 y/o is my husband but he never matured past the age of 14) and I STILL hide things. Its a matter of survival. I would kill any one of them if they ate the last cookie when I was having a craving and there were no goodies to be found.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who does this! My 2 year old didn’t nap the other day so I tricked her by putting chocolate ice cream in my coffee cup instead of a bowl. She just kept asking, “is that coffee, Mama?” I think she may be on to me.
And if a certain 2 year olld finds me eating from my secret stash, and I bribe him with a bit, he then finds it necessary to go invite everyone to have some. So generous of him. Though he is totally missing the point ;).

My kids are 11 & 6 and I still find ways to this. It’s not at naptime anymore but I may have some stashes in various locations in the house…
I’m loving this little series you’re doing here:) Keep it up, cause it cracks me up!
I agree with Mrs Higgison, I love this new series you’re doing, so you! You make me smile Jill 🙂
oh, yes, the things we do that our children know nothing about. we do this exact same thing but at bedtime. with ice cream.
Thanks y’all! This is part of new “Mommy Truths” category, and I’m having a little too much fun with it.
And here I thought it was code for “Mommy needs time to play around on the computer.” All this time I could have been eating COOKIES?!?!
Oh, that, too! Be sure, I was stuffing my face with Oreos WHILE playing on the computer. I am very talented like that. Also? My computer is filthy.
So true! If I have something particularly yummy in the house, my children will never see it.
OMGoodness! it’s funny ’cause it’s true!

Ha ha! The truth!
