The Easter Candy Tax Man

My 11-year-old daughter is still visited by the Easter Bunny every year. She scores a sizable collection of chocolate delicacies each year. This year, I enacted the Easter Candy tax, and I am the collecting agent. I confiscated 10% of all candy commodities to be dispersed to me, and me alone. I'm a narcissistic totalitarian dictator like that. Photo: Pixabay Public Domain, free for commercial use. No attribution required.

That was only 10% of the candy. She tricked you. You got 10% of 10%. 10 times 10 is 100. Wait, um....oh rabbit ears!

I am sorry I somehow missed this. Just to let you know, I am sorry to inform you that child services has been notified as well as the Protection of Easter Candy, Integrity of Easter Associates, Government Administration for Candy Tax, and The Bunny is not for Everyone Services. HAHAHA Please let me know if there are any I forgot.

Why didn't you just bought more for yourself instead of taxing your own daughter?

I've no kids. You remind me of a post I saw on facebook once. "I am currently searching for my son's candy, that I ate yesterday." My sister has a big bowl under the sink of the candy that she munches on periodically.
