The Miracle of Sugar

I was driving home today and I was thinking about the funniest thing that was said at my sisters weddding. The ring bearer at my sisters wedding was around 2 or 3 years old and when we were starting to take pictures he was not in a good mood. He was really tired and didn't want to cooperate at all. Obviously you have to expect things like that when working with children because they aren't robots or something. If they're in a bad mood then they're in a bad mood.

We were taking pictures at the Scout Lodge, where the reception was going to be held, and then we drove to the church before taking a few more pictures and having the ceremony. Pierce, the ring bearer, stayed with his mom while we all drove to the Church and when we were all at the church taking more pictures Pierce and his mom and aunt and Alyssa, the flower girl, all showed up.

There was a dramatic change in Pierce's behavior. He was happy and willing to take as many pictures as we wanted. It was a total 180 degree transformation. The best part?

I was talking with my cousin and Pierce's aunt, Marci, and she said:

"All we did was pump him with sugar and soda."

That has got to be the best thing I've ever heard! I laughed out loud. I don't know why it was so funny to me but even now thinking about it I chuckle. I guess it's because it really worked! You know you always see kids hyped up on sugar but I don't think I've seen the dramatic transformation that it has on them like physicall right before my eyes! It was great! :) Plus all of the super "health conscious people" say you shouldn't give your kids this, that or the other thing and then they purposely pumped him with sugar and caffeine! :) I love it!!! :)

So yeah that is the story I wanted to share today! hahaha It made me chuckle! :)

This is what happens when you, "pump him with sugar and soda" hahaha Instant transformation!
