I had a bad day today; not earthquake bad, but icky bad.\u00a0 Bad enough.\u00a0 I was crying, and Ned said, “Would an M&M tasting make you feel better?”<\/p>\n

I laughed immediately.\u00a0 Yes it would.\u00a0 What a great, Ned-like idea.\u00a0 And now there are all these different types:\u00a0 pretzel, coconut, peanut butter, and of course plain and peanut.\u00a0 So we took a little road trip to Walgreen’s and raided the candy aisle.\u00a0 I was remembering how I used to buy The Pounder, a whole pound of M&Ms, when I was in college.\u00a0 When my boyfriend Ethan dumped me, the first thing I did was run to Ned’s room (he was my best friend at the time) and tell him that Ethan had broken up with me.\u00a0 I secretly wanted him to leap up and ask me out.\u00a0 But he didn’t. He was focused on what I had just said.\u00a0 Or something.\u00a0 He just stared at me, while my heart started to dissolve into little pieces.\u00a0 I guess what I really felt bad about was that Ned hadn’t asked me out, rather than that Ethan had dumped me.\u00a0 I did what any red-blooded, glucose-addicted American girl would do:\u00a0 I bought The Pounder and ate it with my friend Lois, while we talked about how stupid guys were.<\/p>\n

Well, we all know that they’re not stupid.\u00a0 Just different.\u00a0 And yet we can all come together over one thing:\u00a0 Candy.
