Default Overheard at the supermarket...

A group of five kids (5-10 yo?) jumping around, with Mom at the checkout
lane:

"CANDY! If we don't get CANDY we'll DIE!"

Cracked me up!!!

Parents bring it on themselves. A while back I was ahead of a woman who had
small twins in one of those massive carriers that span an entire aisle
width. I'm checking out, she pulls in and grabs 2 bags of Skittles and
hands them to the toddlers who begin to greedily devour them. I'm sure she
thought she was being a nice mom, maybe rewarding the kids for not making a
scene at the store, whatever. But she's getting her kids hooked on candy at
a very early age and that will haunt her mightily for years to come.

Heh heh heh. Our kidlette likes her candy too, but when my DS took her
shopping a few weeks ago and offered to buy her some candy, she said, "I
have 'nuff sweeties at home." (I had bought her some a day or two
before, and she is learning to "make it last")

Of course, she came home with a balloon instead
