Salty Apples?

So I have this friend...I don't want to say her name....but I will tell you that she is 8 months pregnant and her name starts with a "C". ANYWAY, so this friend of mine calls me up at about 2:15pm and says....."I need you to help me make 70 caramel apples"!!!! Alright, I think no big deal right. Until she says "By 6:00pm".

O.K so at this point I'm thinking positively and say "yah sure come on over. Let's do it."

At this point of the story I should tell you that Ryan was just leaving for work, so just me and the kids.

So this friend comes over and we begin. Everything is going pretty smoothly until we realize that we have seriously just enough time to get these things made before the 6:00pm deadline. My kids are playing pretty well together for the first 2 hours but then things start to go very very wrong.

The kids start getting a little edgy because they are hungry and there mommie hasn't been spending much time with them at all. We discover that the apples are sticking to the wax paper really bad and we have to do something fast. So I grab the sugar (or is it?) and we sugar the bottoms. This works awesome andwe think we've got it made.

By this time was have 55 done and just one more batch to go. The time is 5 pm and I'm thinking "Hey we're doin pretty good". Then Carlie..oops....I mean my friend has to run out and grab some stuff and I need to finnish the final batch.

While she is gone I get the last batch done and feed my kids dinner. It was nuts. She gets back to the house we quickly wrap all the apples and all is well! I grab one apple for myself (after all that hard work I deserve one right?

About and hour later she calls me and says "Hey did you eat that apple yet?"
I reply "No, why"
"Go taste the bottom of it"
"O.K"
I grab the apple and put my tongue to the bottom expecting the yummie goodness of sugar in my mouth.
"ewe"
It tasted like......SALT. That's right folks. SALT!!!! basically the complete opposite of SUGAR! Can you say embarrassing? I can. And today for me it's spelled S-A-L-T! help
