| Posted by Jean Mollett on 06/29/03 at 05:01 AM Hi Max,
Good one, sweet.Your son wanted that candy really bad, he figured ya would let him have it then. His face told on him, around his mouth. He must have been scarced too, cause he knew was in trouble for sure. At least he finally admitted it.
And Mama gives him a hug. Jean |

| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 06/30/03 at 01:44 PM Max,this is an utterly scrumptuous tale and confectionary, and all parents should be as tender with their scold as you. |
| Posted by Ginette T Belle on 06/30/03 at 03:58 PM love the first two stanzas...what a fun to read poem... |
| Posted by Mara Meade on 06/30/03 at 06:05 PM I'm just grinning over this delightful picture/story! Oh, the innocence...and the love of a father!!!! |
| Posted by Agnes Eva on 06/30/03 at 06:14 PM heehee, you capture the adult's eye view humor of this situation well. brave little boy, telling the truth emotionally overwhelmed by the evidence |
| Posted by JD Clay on 07/01/03 at 03:58 AM Endearing sentiment passed on from one chocolate lover to another. Nice portrayal, Max.
Peace... |
| Posted by Anne Engelen on 07/01/03 at 07:21 PM OMG...this brought back some great memories. I was a candy thief too...but I never ever admitted to it (even with my mouth full of candy and often some falling out I still tried to convince my mom that I didn't take any). And up to this day I hate the punishment she gave me...she just gave my two brothers and my sister one little candy...and I got none. Oh boy ...still remember how unfair I thought that was towards me. heheheh...what can I say... ;) |

| Posted by Michele Schottelkorb on 07/02/03 at 07:52 PM this is precious... i have a three year old and happen upon this scenario almost daily... i read this aloud to her as she is sitting in my lap and she has asked me to read it again... so you now have two fans... blessings... |

| Posted by Alex Smyth on 07/08/03 at 04:08 AM I love the use of sounds to re-create the deed. Chocolate, children, and a fathers love. You have penned the universal poem! Great job, Max! |

| Posted by Glenn Currier on 12/31/03 at 05:46 AM Oh, I just love this, daddy poem, a really cool other side of you I have not seen until now. I look forward to reading more of your writes in the children folder. I can see you hugging the kid. What a great dad he has. |
| Posted by Traci Mabats on 01/02/04 at 02:17 AM oh, yeah...this is cute. |
| Posted by Kara Hayostek on 02/14/04 at 10:08 PM I love this poem, it reminds me of a country song "Fathers dont just love their sons everynow and then, its a love without end..amen"
But this is really sweet and along those lines. |
| Posted by Mahassine Mir on 02/03/05 at 12:28 PM Brought tears to my eyes ... poems about fathers and sons always do this to me ... Guess I am missing my father too much... |
| Posted by Joan Serratelli on 04/10/06 at 02:12 PM such a sweet poem! great heartwarming read and a glimpse into your relationship with your son. I had to deal with 3 little "chocolate theives". It was always "Not me!" Brings back alot of funny memories. |
