Does it have sugar?



Mom: Tye, which cereal do you want?
Tye: Which one has sugar?
Mom: They both have some sugar.
Tye: Does that one have sugar? (pointing to the Cheerios)
Mom: Yes. It has a little sugar.
Tye: Does that one have A LOT of sugar? (pointing to the Honeycomb)
Mom: Yes. That one has a lot of sugar.
Tye: I want THAT one!!

Oh brother! Apparently I need to stress the importance of whole grains, vitamins, minerals and such. I guess I could stop buying sugary cereal, but then they probably wouldn't eat anything! It's fortified!! That's what I'll tell myself. Yep- I feel better already!

That's hilarious. Next thing you know he'll be asking you to dump sugar on his Honeycombs because they're not sweet enough!

That's how I determine what I will eat, too.

I've started telling my kids that sweet stuff is junk and it totally backfired. Now they tattle to their dad that mommy eats junk all day. BTW, I think Rachel looks like Tami's Riley a it-definitely related.

That is so funny! He is smart and he already has the Swensen sweet tooth.
