[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 479798, member: 6705"] I did understand the connotations of "sweets"... Perhaps because husband's BFF lives in England. However - someone mentioned additives. Red 40 is a huge trigger. BFF-H can't have it at all - she vomits horribly with even the smallest amount. So, I make things for her with other colors, or not at all. (Candy canes are a nightmare... IC, where do you get peppermints without red?) We almost never have red anything in the house, as I despise the thought of trying to clean it. BUT - last weekend Jett went out with bio's friend (I'll call her Mimi), she adores the kids and truly acts as a godmother should. But... He came home with a gallon jug of cheap tropical punch. BRIGHT RED. And his behavior, while not much compared to most difficult children, is off the charts for him. I watered it down after "having a glass" (stuff's horrid, I poured it out when he wasn't looking), and behavior got better. Still awful. But bouncing off the walls just as you described, Malika. I'm guessing it wasn't the ice cream (unless it was like an ice-cream sandwich, the "bread" has all kinds of nasties in it). May be a teaching moment for him? [/QUOTE]
