Why did I even entertain the conversation?
Even though I knew it would make me feel ill, I finally caved in and opened one of the little Halloween candies we had leftover. I chose my favorite miniature - Baby Ruth. I haven't eaten one in a long long time.
Me: OH. This doesn't taste like a Baby Ruth. (checking the package) It says Baby Ruth though.
Mom: What's the matter with it?
Me: It doesn't have any peanuts or much nougat in it - it tastes like it's a chocoate covered caramel.
Mom: Maybe they made some without peanuts.
Me: Then it wouldn't be a Baby Ruth, it would be some other nutless candy bar.

Mom: Well some people can't eat peanuts. Maybe they wanted one without peanuts.
Me: Then they should choose another candy bar.
Mom: Like what?
Me: Like any other one, WITHOUT PEANUTS.
