“Just Stop Buying Them.”

My daughter’s simple, but sound advice

Image created by the author in Midjourney.

I was taking my daughter to school this morning, and I picked up my favorite thing from my car’s cupholder.

“I’m going to stop eating these,” I said to her.

Confession: I have a terrible addiction to these candies called Necco wafers.

Maybe you’ve seen them? They’ve been around since 1847. I used to eat them as a kid and only recently rediscovered them.

That’s not a good thing because now they sit in my car’s cup holder, sometimes five or six rolls at a time.

I only have 1.5 rolls left. | Photo taken by the author.

I begin eating the little wafers one by one as I take my daughter to school.

“This is a lot of sugar to be eating this early in the morning. Or ever.”, I try to convince myself.

Then my daughter gave me this simple, yet sound advice.

“Just stop buying them.”

I should probably listen to her.
