Out of Tyler's mouth...

While trick or treating, we took a break and let them each choose a piece of candy to eat...Tyler chose a Baby Ruth and while he was eating, Douglas kept saying, "Umm, I loved Baby Ruths, they are SO good." over and over again. Tyler appeared to not be taking the hint because he wasn't offering up a bite. That is when Douglas said, "I haven't had one in about 15 years, I wonder what they taste like." and without any hesitation, Tyler said, "They taste EXACTLY like they did 15 years ago!".....hysterical!
