I figured that is what Jon and you meant and I don't disagree that on some level, he probably thinks we are abusing her by not giving her candy. I didn't want to make it seem like she gets nothing sweet or snacks. (One of her favorite things is to eat the whip cream off my wife's lattes). We just prefer the sweets to be something other than candy.

And yes, it was a massive amount of candy. My work will be happy since 90% of it will wind up in the break room tomorrow.
