The Yellow Taffy Debacle

My mother has always loved banana taffy. She has been known to buy out a convenience store of all laffy taffy. It was like she had died and gone to heaven when Bucees started carrying candy bar size yellow taffy,making purchases before baseball games. Every grandchild has understood the rule of "any yellow taffy goes to Nonnie." Every grand child has happily saved any yellow taffy they came across whether it was Halloween candy,Easter candy, or from a birthday arty piƱata...yellow taffy was saved for Nonnie, whether she is there or not.

That was until the 6th, youngest and final grandchild,the most stubborn of them all...JORDONNA! This girl will not share, and don't even ask if she will choose a yellow out of the tub just because Nonnie wants it. She will pick a yellow but eat it in front of you.

Halloween night Nonnie was guarding the candy basket. She noticed 2 yellow taffy and snatched them. Once in the car Jordonna was looking for a piece of candy,knowing she had yellow taffy, that was what she was after, but with no luck.THEY WERE GONE! She wanted to purposefully eat those yellow taffy in front of her Nonnie but they were not to be found. She begged her daddy to look in the basket to help her, all the while my mom can no longer control her laughter. She was busted and had to hand over the only two yellow taffys. She was given the ugliest look for raiding the candy basket. Thankfully, Tony follows the yellow taffy rule and had specially chosen a few just to give to Nonnie.
