Eating M&Ms
After reading my Reasons to Seek Out a Shrink, J was fondly amused by my fascination with M&Ms. He suggested that it be the #1 reason that I need a shrink and also requested that write out my M&M eating instructions. So, here you go...
1) M&Ms must be divided by color. You cannot mix the colors and heaven forbid you just grab a handful and down them.
2) Once divided you must begin eating the color that you have the fewest of and work your way up. (ie: if you have 2 green, 7 blue, and 9 brown; that's the order you eat them in ~ green, blue, brown)
3) You must eat two M&Ms at a time; one for each side of your mouth. Even if you know that you have an odd number of that particular color, you still start with two at a time. Then, you may finish that poor last one by itself, biting it with your front teeth to break the outer coating.
4) Never pour out more than you can eat at one time. If you have a large bag of M&Ms, you are not allowed to "put back" what you don't eat. You can always get more, but you can never put back.
I guess that's it. I know it's strange, but it's the way I do it. Hey, at least I don't sit there and throw out all the "W"s.
