Stuffing your face with Halloween candy is basically the best part about Halloween for kids. They put in the hard work of tromping around the neighborhood collecting it. It only makes sense to take the entire next day to eat until you're sick to your stomach.
Well, one little boy named Hudson almost got sick to his stomach for another reason entirely. His parents woke him up on November 1, the day after Halloween, to let him know that, uh-oh, there wasn't any candy left.
While it's pretty much expected that parents are going to swipe a few pieces of candy from their kids' buckets, eating all of their delicious sweets in one night is pretty harsh. Luckily, these parents were playing a little prank. Still, Hudson was not amused.
Hudson woke up and immediately asked for candy, because of course. His parents told him an elaborate lie about how they were watching a scary movie and because they were so scared, they couldn't stop eating the candy. They showed him their candy wrappers strewn about, too, to make it more believable.
Hudson completely lost his cool and exploded into sobs. I mean, why wouldn't he? He looks to be about 2 or 3 years old. Having your parents steal all your Halloween candy is pretty much the worst thing that you can ever imagine happening.
Luckily, they soon let him in on the prank, which they had seen on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Perhaps the day will be character building for little Hudson. Or perhaps he will just keep his candy close from now on.
