The candy dispenser

July 15, 2012
Every time we go to my parent's house, Cole makes a beeline for one thing.

The candy dispenser.

My Grandpa Jewkes made it a few years back. We have one but it sits on Jeff's desk at work, full of Mike & Ikes. My mom knows Cole loves peanut M&Ms and makes sure that thing is stocked full. Cole knows how to turn the handle until the dispenser catches a piece of candy, dropping it down to play a fun melody of clanks all the way to the bottom. He stuffs his face full of chocolate as fast as he can turn the handle until his mean old mom (aka, me) takes it away.

Of course, no Grandma will let their precious, spoiled rotten grandchild go without so I'm slowly learning that it's easier to just let him have it for as long as he wants. Otherwise my mom just hands him a bowl of M&Ms!
