I Smell Lies and Candy

So the Tuesday following Easter, Daniel was in his room doing his chores (making his bed, folding his pjs, etc.). He was in there quite awhile, but I'm busy, and I didn't make much of it..... He came out awhile later and was acting a little strange, just giggling and goofy. He got close to me, and I realized that he smelled like peanut butter. Our conversation went like this: Me: Why do you smell like peanut butter? Daniel: I don't know! Me: What did you eat with peanut butter? Daniel (with a sad look on his face): Candy. Me: One of the Reese's candies? Daniel: Yes. Me: That whole big Reese's egg in the yellow wrapper or a little tiny one? Daniel: The whole big egg. Me: Is that all you ate? Daniel: Yes. Me: Are you sure? Daniel: Yes. Me (sighing): OK, Daniel. You're not going to get any more sweets today because you've already eaten one. You know you're supposed to ask before you have sweets. Daniel: OK. Not five minutes later, we're in his room doing something, and I see, sticking out from under his bed, candy wrappers. Lots of candy wrappers. As in 8 candy wrappers. That child ate 3 Snickers, 4 Reese's peanut butter cups, 1 Reese's peanut butter egg, and a marshmallow bunny. When questioned, he promised that that was the whole stash. Then I proceeded to look on the other side of the bed, and I found two more Reese's peanut butter cup wrappers. That brings the grand total to ten pieces of candy in one day, as well as two big fat lies.
