Today, I learned where my mom's "special hiding spot" that I'll "never find" for the Halloween chocolate is, when I preheated the oven to make cookies. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I discovered a drawer full of chocolates, cookies and baked goods in my house. When I asked my sister what the drawer was, she told me that my mom thought it would be a good idea to hide the fattening foods from me. My entire family had known about the food drawer, except me. FML

Today, I found out that I'm not actually allergic to chocolate, when my mom freely admitted to me that she made it up when I was a child because she didn't want to share any cookies with me. FML

Today, after 30 minutes of pre-heating the oven to make a special meatloaf for my husband's birthday, I remembered that I had hidden the cake in there. FML

Today, I made my mom cookies for Mother's Day. My brother took all the cookies to work as a snack, because I didn't specifically tell him that the homemade "MOM" hearts weren't meant for him. FML

Today, I learned to check inside the oven before you preheat it. Sometimes children hide their pet rabbit in there. FML

Today, I snuck into my aunt's house while she was working to raid her pantry, like I do most days. Excited for a snack cake, I went to the pantry. Apparently she'd found out, because there was a lock on it. FML

Today, my mom walked into my room to talk to me. I was surprised because we don't talk much. I was left with a smile on my face after she left, until I realized she'd stolen all the candy on my desk while I wasn't looking. FML

Today, I woke up and decided to make my mom a special Easter breakfast in bed. I pre-heated the oven to bake the sausage just the way she likes. Guess where my easter basket was. FML

Today, my mom told me she’d never forgive me for eating her birthday candy. I ate it in my sleep. FML

Today, I woke up early and spent hours baking and icing a three-tier cake for my friend's eighteenth birthday, which is this evening. I just found out my mother threw it in the compost bin because she's on a diet and it was "tempting" her. FML

My special hiding spot is in my stomach. No one ever finds my chocolate.

I am not sure why your mother chooses to hide the chocolate in the first place. My mom is horrible with gifts, so we have always known what we were getting for any holiday. She also has a special trunk where she locks the smaller/valuable things, like halloween treats, because my sister had a horrible eating disorder when we were kids and would gorge herself on anything remotely sweet.

For safety-- Should always double check that it's empty. I don't know anyone that doesn't use their oven to store items like pot and pans etc...

I don't! *shakes hand* Nice to meet you.

On the contrary, I've never met anyone who stores their pots and pans in the oven. Isn't that what cupboards and drawers are for?

There's absolutely nothing in your oven? I don't believe you! :P

Unless you have lots of cooking stuff and it's too big to fit in the drawer or cupboards

Personally, cabinets are for storing things that I "don't" use everyday. I always stock things larger to smaller on top, so it'll be a hassle to get my larger skillet every time I want to make breakfast.

Is it really that much of a hassle to lift some pans? I don't store anything in my oven either, both my roommate and I use it to cook on a daily basis.

I use the oven pretty much every day to make dinner, it'd be more of a hassle for me to have to take things out first! Plus I have lots of cupboard space so don't need to store anything in the oven :)

#30 OP didn't 'look.into the oven' because you never expect someone to hide something in an oven.

that's why you eat the chocolate so this will never happen

Always check the oven before pre-heating, you never know!

It's kinda sad the OPs mom never expected him/her to use the oven.

Time to find a new place...but now you know for future reference...maybe she will try again...

Well I agree that is a terrible hiding place (does no one ever cook or does she just re hide them after dinner?), I think that a little bit of this is YDI. First thing I ever learned in Foods class was ALWAYS check inside before turning on the oven..

or you can, you know, not store shit in the friggin oven. I have never in my life checked my oven before using it, I don't have to because I don't store random things in the oven, and I don't allow anything flammable to be placed on top of the stove either.
