[QUOTE="klmno, post: 137512, member: 3699"] difficult child: Mom, could I have an energy drink? ME: :rofl: No, son. difficult child: Why? ME: Because you don't need one and they are not good for you. difficult child: But I know other people who drink them so why can't I have one? ME: They are especially not good for YOU - that would be like a diabetic eating a pound of sugar candy. difficult child: Well, if the diabetic really wanted to eat sweets and did, then had a reaction, couldn't they just go to a hospital and get their system straightened out again? ME: Ok, difficult child. If you were going to drink energy drinks, it would have to be sitting in the car in the parking lot of the acute psychiatric hospital because that is where I would drive you so all I would have to do afterwards is walk you straight in and drop you off for a week's stay. Now, is it worth that to you? difficult child (later): Well, I did get one from a friend once and drank it and it didn't make me CRASH. :surprise: ME: :slap: :rolleye: I'm going to really have to watch this kid for temptations towards substance abuse in the future... :future: [/QUOTE]
