And lo, @jayna offers us a new prompt in her 50 Word Short Story Challenge.
This time around, we're offered the prompt of: chocolate
Finally. Evie’s mom put down the chocolate bar. Evie stared at it. It called, beckoning from the kitchen counter.
Mom wouldn’t mind if she had a bite. She stood on tiptoes, grabbing it.
Five bites later it was gone.
Her mother returned from the bathroom. “Hey, who took my Ex-Lax?”
The minor backstory: @therosepatch is having some poop-related problems with her young'un. And thus, this story offers one potential reason for that mess.

Oh dear. That's not going to end well.

That was a new expression for me. I had to look it up!

I fixed that expression from my grad school days when i had to read Chaucer. It precedes Chaucer, of course, but I memorized it from The Pardoner's Tale, of which we see echoes at the end of the Harry Potter saga, by the way.
That's about the only Latin I know :)

I had to go look it up as well. Latin always makes someone sound very wise and learned :)

Haha. I guess. Speaking spanish as a mother tongue helps understand Latin somehow. I think that proximity stops us from seriously pursuing its study with more rigor (the same goes for Portuguese and Italian). My ex-wife's best friends during the time we stayed in Athens, oh, were from Brazil and Mozambique. For 2 years they shared tons of hours each one speaking their language. It was so funny. Neither learned the other's language, they just understood one another.
