Disgusting!

I am usually proud of the fact that I can catch my kids doing things that they aren't supposed to. I feel like I am preventing them from thinking they can get away with things on my watch. (I know I am delusional to think I have a clue what my kids are doing most of the time, but bear with me.) So as I was leaving Derek's work with all the kids in the back, I saw the guilty look on two of my kids' faces.(who shall remain nameless) I asked them what they were up to, and I spotted candy in one of their hands. I knew that I had not bought them candy today, or any day lately for that matter;so I asked them where they got the candy. The reply "from the van seat". My response "You just picked that out of the van seat?!" "yeah". Now let me tell you about our van...... We have had it for six years now, holds 12 people. 15 kids if we pack them in. Has seen it's fair share of dirt, sand, candy, spills, stains, tears, blood etc. In no way can I say that van is clean, it is maintained to the point of not having animals nest in it. So to find out that two of my children actually thought that they should DIG candy out from the van seats, well that made me a little sick. I had to point out that they ate the candy where people sit, so they were in fact eating "butt candy" Got some laughs for that comment.Seriously, where would a child get the idea? I mean maybe if they were hungry, but I had just bought them lunch. Which also annoyed me that I could have just let them scrounge around for leftovers in the van instead of spending money for lunch. I told them that for dinner they can dig around on the dining room chairs for their meals.Ugh!
