If parenting has taught me anything, it’s that kids have a supernatural ability to locate snacks and boom… the vanishing snacks magic happens! It doesn’t matter how well you hide them—behind the cereal, under the veggies, in a locked vault—they will find them.
Yesterday, I bought a brand-new box of granola bars. I had one. Just ONE. The next day? Gone. Every single bar vanished like they had been sucked into a snack black hole. I confronted my kids. The 8-year-old blamed the 5-year-old. The 5-year-old blamed the dog. The dog looked guilty, but I knew the truth: my little snack bandits had struck again.
After a full-scale investigation (and some suspicious crumbs on tiny hands), my 5-year-old finally cracked under questioning. “Maybe I just had one… or five?” Meanwhile, the 8-year-old insisted she had “barely touched them,” which, in kid language, means she had at least half the box.
I sighed and decided to restock—this time with a secret stash for myself. But of course, they found that too. I now live in a world where my snacks are never really mine, and I have accepted my fate.
