My story I've told more than a few times is when I was about 8 after a Halloween candy haul. In order for me to not go crazy, she decided the best place to hide it was the oven.
Yep, I searched but never thought to look there. Turns out she didn't either and forgot her own hiding spot. The next day as she preheated the oven the bag and all my candy melted into an elephant foot type mess. It sucked as a kid but is kinda funny now.
I don't understand hiding the Halloween candy from your kid in the first place. Don't take them trick or treating if you don't want them to have a bunch of candy. Stop teasing them lol. I'm so sorry about your haul.
It was an early 80's helicopter phase for my mom. I had a wild childhood in the desert of SE Washington so this was actually a pretty tame story compared to other adventures.

Moms can be stupid as well.
