My Favorite Candy(from writing prompt)

From writing prompt:



My favorite candy is Skittles. I fell in love with Skittles when my husband found some packages in a Love's Truckstop on clearance and brought them home. After those were gone, I began buying individual packages at convenience stores. My husband, dismayed at my irresponsibility of buying small packages when I could get more for the money by buying the larger package sizes, began buying the huge packages for me. When I decided to learn a new trade, HIS trade of Long Haul Trucking, he didn't want me smoking cigarette after cigarette in his new Volvo tractor. So he bought me Skittles.

It's really amusing, riding along, handful after handful of Skittles going down. Balancing the opened bag between my legs while driving was quite annoying at first, but I got the hang of it. I can even close the bag, lay it beside my seat in the floor, then reopen when I want without taking my eyes off the road. I'm not going to say here how many bags I put down in a week. I do know that once this past week, I ran out of Skittles while on a run out in Texas. I panicked! Can you believe I panicked thinking I might have to drive for a long period without my Skittles? I'm not understanding this, not understanding this at all!! But it is true! I've become dependent on Skittles to be my driving partner, my safety hatch when the road gets too long!

I woulda never thunk it!
