The thing I don't understand today is... Why my fourteen year old son would rather sneakily shovel handful after handful of powdered sugar into his mouth and lie about it, than to ask for a snack. Sometimes I just don't get this kid.
It was actually pretty funny watching him deny it considering the evidence was all over the front of his shirt. I can't believe how stupid this kid thinks I am.
Other weird stuff he has been busted sneaking? About two dozen Splenda packets. He swiped them, ripped them open and ate them all in one sitting. Throat drops too, you know the kind that numb your throat and entire mouth? I don't think he thought they would do that though, he was used to nicking the Halls, one of those times I wish I had been a fly on the wall.
Anyway, his whiny response when questioned as to why? "I was hungry and I wanted something sweet" Now I'll admit, I don't keep candy around and only occasionally buy it (I have this thing against High Fructose Corn Syrup) but you can't tell me that fruit isn't sweet, and I'm sure it is a hell of a lot better at filling your stomach than a Splenda packet, even a bunch of Splenda packets, can you imagine-Ick! Or, he could have a granola bar if he wanted, but no-o, he would much rather sneak handfuls of powdered sugar and lie about it.
Maybe he just likes the idea that he's getting away with something, you know, it's more fun because it's against the rules. If that's the case, I'm in for a hell of a ride in the next couple of years. Wish me good luck, I'll need it.
