EXCUSE ME??!! What ARE they talking about. When I was a kid if anyone had tried to get any of my goodies they would have drawn back a nub. (except for jujubes, yuck). What kind of parents take their kids' candies after they worked so hard trick or treating to get them.
I thought "draw back a nub" was a Texanism. Maybe it's a transplanted Yankeeism and I didn't know it! Anyway, it's delightful to see it in print. And I keep candy in the house all year, so I don't have to wait until Halloween--that's why I need to lose 20 pounds. froggyintexas
