Fun With Candy
The other night I stole some M&M�s from Heather while she was assembling some treats for one of our kids� Christmas party at school (don�t worry, she had plenty).

I was snarfing the M&M�s down quickly to avoid having to give them back while I walked into Ian�s room to see how he was coming along with his homework. I forgot what was said exactly, but whatever it was Ian made me laugh.


I choked a bit as the chocolate started going down the wrong pipe � as my mom would like to say - and then coughed pretty hard. When my little coughing fit was over, the back of my throat was burning and irritated from the chocolate. It hurt the most up high in the back of my throat, close to where the nasal passage starts.

Heather recommended a drink of water to relieve the back of my throat, but I decided to wait. I figured the irritation would go away on its own.

10 minutes later I am pleasantly surprised by the taste � and sensation - of chocolate running down the back of my throat.

Apparently the chocolate I had coughed up while laughing at Ian�s joke ended up lodged in the back of my nasal cavity. It sat there for a while until gravity did its thing.

It was like getting a chocolate treat all over again.
