“Which candy is your favorite?” I laugh out, “What?” “Tell me which one is your favorite.” “That’s not an easy answer.” “Tell me anyway.” He smiles and gives my side a little pinch. “Red Vines and sour gummy bears, and maybe those Modjeska things tied for first. Oh, and the chocolate-covered gummy bears, too.” He paid attention. He already knows that sour gummy bears are a top choice. Last week, I found unopened bags in his snack cupboard and bedside table. He told me they were “in case of an emergency.”
