Rather than plastic, let me suggest a few responses that could work. "I hear bowls scraping." - Yeah, it's time for your mother's prunes. (or insert other yucky food here -- my kids would get the creeps if they thought we were eating chili after bedtime.) - We're doing the dishes. (They don't need to know that the dishes in question are filled with deliciousness.) - Ha! We were making noise to see which one of you naughty children would be the first to get out of bed! You fell for it! Ha HA! Feel free to give any of those a try. Hope they work for ya. ;) Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. -MM Great story!

Wood would probably keep your hands from freezing as you enjoy your treat. They could even make your secret time more special. <abbr><em>RobMonroe´s last blog post..<a href="http://rob.mdmonroes.com/2008/11/countdown-to-30-1986.html">Countdown to 30 - 1986</a></abbr></em> I agree about the plastic bowls, or wood.

I'll have to be forgiven for not letting that stop us. :) <a href='#comment-2308'>@WeaselMomma</a> - True enough. <a href='#comment-2310'>@Chadwick</a> - I think we'll be moving to plastic too. Smell? Wow - I'm not sure how you combat that one. You could always go with a diversionary tactic as Tom mentions but I imagine diversions and smell could get a little stinky. Good luck! <a href='#comment-2312'>@burning windmill</a> - You and me both. <a href='#comment-2314'>@Debbie Davis</a> - Thanks. I could not believe it when she said that. <a href='#comment-2315'>@Kim</a> - It is noice to know that we aren't alone. You'll have to get one of those smell proof containers and label it prunes or some other offensive thing. :) @Treemama – It is kinda sneaky and conniving isn’t it?
