The lies often grow more elaborate as Charlie's blood sugars grow higher.


• No, we can't get ice cream from the ice cream man. I don't have any money on me.


• Oh … this? No, that's not a real dollar. It's a prop. I got it from a magic shop. Poof! See? It's gone. No money.


• You wouldn't like this (Skittles). It's spicy.


• You wouldn't like this (Starburst). It fell in dog poop.


• You wouldn't like this (licorice). It was endorsed by a radical minister.


• You wouldn't like this (Pop Rocks). It will make your head explode.


• Yes, it will really make your head explode. Well, if mixed with soda. But even without the soda, you could easily lose an ear or two.


• You wouldn't like this (Dots). It's chewy because it's made from chopped up pieces of snake. 


• I know it doesn't look like snake. That's because they've already put it through the candy-making machine.


• Damn right, it's poisonous! The machine doesn't remove the poison.


• It's a flaw that the candy people are working on.


• Sorry, you can't have those. I don't know how many carbs it has.


• I know "it says" 17 carbs on the back of the package, but it can't be trusted. These April Fools candies are tricky like that.


• No, I can't just bolus for it. The pump isn't calibrated for candy.


• Plus, it too fell in dog poop. Yucky!


• How about a nice piece of American cheese?
