Ya know. . . this is amusing. We (myself, the other half and Butterhead) just got back from lunch out with a friend. We were at the restaurant over an hour. Right before we left, he commented that it was really nice that he was able to sit there and talk to both of us. I asked him to elaborate. . . apparently it is a rarity that A) a short-person was not sitting there screaming to beat the band and disrupting the coversation or B) that one or the other was not having to take the short-person outside because they were screaming to beat the band. He stated that she was very well behaved. I responded with, "I would have had my lunch boxed and taken her home if she was not behaving." And, BTW, she does get chocolates and other sweets. So I really doubt that it is something new in the food or the kids' chemistry that causes them to act like a "shrieking maniac." Not that Butterhead never acts like a maniac. quote:

ORIGINAL: LadyHibiscus Caffeine has the opposite effect on many children---Ritalin IS a stimulant, yanno! :) Sugar, on the other hand, is NOT. It just hits the bloodstream and is processed more quickly than other foods. Also, I blame something in the modern kids' chemistry. I had choccies and candy when I was young, we all did, but we were not shrieking maniacs. Yeah that's not the kids' chemistry. That's them parents who are simply throwing their kids into day care, then paying them (at best) half a mind the rest of the time. You know, normal loving caring parents who don't actually have a clue how to discipline... Whoops, was I going on a rant there? ETA: This is coming from a hyper Ritalin chugging kid who learned self control just to avoid that foul tasting stuff!! And a steady parent helped too...
