Twin secrets.

I've written in here before how Kenny pilfers junk food from the cupboards and stores it away in secret hiding places to keep it from the kids (namely Kyler, as he is our junk food junkie).  So yesterday, as I was walking my lunch break away on my treadmill and I noticed something sticking out from underneath it, I just had to check it out.  I hopped off and laid down on the floor and sure enough: a stockpile of assorted gums and candies.  I stayed there, laying on my belly, laughing and thinking how this is actually his most brilliant hiding spot yet.  Who would ever look under the treadmill?  It's like when you're walking around the house, frantically searching for the keys and they're in your hand the entire time.  Nobody ever suspects the obvious or the ironic. 

Kyler walked into the room as I was still scoping out what all was underneath said treadmill.  We both had that deer-in-the-headlights look.  I knew why I had it, but I was confused about why Kyler looked so guilty.  He said, "Oh NO, you found it!"  I was surprised that he knew about Kenny's stockpile until he said, "I've had that stuff there for weeks so that DAD won't find it and eat it!  You CAN'T tell him." 

I assured Kyler that his secret is safe with me, but how funny is that?  Kenny has a secret stash of food that he's hiding from Kyler, while Kyler has a secret stash he's hiding from Kenny.  And the best part is that none of the stuff is the same.  Never has the term 'Like father, like son' rung so true in this house.
