<human>: TIFU: First off the standard: this didn't happen today, it happened Tuesday night. I also don't know if this fits more on r/TIFU or r/parents.

Set the scene: I am driving my daughter, mother, and husband to my daughters gymnastics practice. We are all just sort of chatting & listening to the radio when I get a "brilliant" idea. We were sitting at a stop light and I turn the radio down. I say "Hey (daughters name) Mommy has something to tell you." "Yeah, what is it Mommy?" (Shes four). "I'm sorry baby but Mommy got hungry while you were playing at grandmas and I ate all your Halloween candy."

Silence.

My mom turns to look at me with sheer disgust on her face. My husband was sort of chuckling in the backseat (he had seen me laughing at the you tube videos earlier that day). I have one of those mirrors by my rear view I can see my daughter in when I am driving. Her head is bowed and she is slightly sniffling. The waterworks approaching I fear I may have to do damage control. Before I can my mom starts yelling at me "how could you do this to her?" "I thought you were on a diet?" etc etc...

I fess up to my daughter and tell her its just a "joke", my mom asks wtf kind of joke is that to play on a child, my husband said my timing was terrible. I tried to explain to my mom that this is like a thing that some people just do and it can be really funny.

To get my daughter to stop crying and put on a happy face I gave her a peanut butter cup (and a tissue) out of my purse.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: possibly gave my daughter trust issues and now my mom thinks I have a terrible sense of humor due to a pop culture holiday trend.
