"But Dad,... I can smell it [Licorice] on your breath."

People who know me, know that I have love for Red Licorice, to the point of being very possessive about it. Same for chocolate. Oh sure, I'll share,... most times, but when it comes down to the last few pieces, back-off, they're mine.

Kids are smart though. Recently while seemingly trying to be sneaky and eat licorice behind my kids back, I got busted.

"Do you have any licorice, Dad?", asks my daughter knowingly.

"Who me?", I reply innocently. "Nope, I have none".

"But Dad,... I can smell it [Licorice] on your breath."

This "Baby Blues" comic strip says it all. :-)
