It was late in the day and I think it had been too quiet all day. We needed to get our ya-yas out. A plan was hatched. The boss was out of the office and the huge Hershey Kiss on her desk was unattended. The huge Kiss her husband gave her for Christmas. Yes, we’re that bad.
I found the box cutter and a new sheet of aluminum foil. The bottom layer of foil was carefully sliced off the huge Kiss and where we hoped to find a piece of cardboard; we found a thick layer of chocolate. We started the incision and carefully cut only a hole large enough to liberate the small Kisses inside.
Carefully turning the large Kiss over, we tried to gently shake loose the trapped Kisses. Unfortunately, the small Kisses were in a plastic bag. No matter, a larger hole was made and a pair of scissors took care of opening the bag. Finally! We were giddy when the chocolate bits fell out onto the boss’s desk.
Regrettably when the larger hole was cut into the bottom a very nice fissure started and the large Kiss shell started to split up the middle. Some quick thinking was called for and we managed to get the new sheet of aluminum in place before all was lost. We carefully over-wrapped the bottom section of the Kiss and then cleaned up our mess. Twice, Kiss wrappers had to be dug out of the boss’s trash can. As one co-conspirator said, it isn’t that criminals are dumb, they’re just sloppy.
I promised to stay away from the boss’s office tomorrow as I’m likely to be the one who cracks first. I’m sure the boss knows this and will come looking for me as her first interrogation victim.
Ooh, wicked! Can’t wait to hear how long it took you to crack.
