This kid had a very clever way of beating his parents’ sugar sachet ban
Dad Peter Hartlaub has shared his son’s very clever way of sourcing sugar sachets from restaurants after he was banned from enjoying the sweet treat.
It looks like he’d been sneaking them out of various places and eating them in the car when really he should have finished up his vegetables instead (like we all did, obviously).
So he did this.
The most “Shawshank Redemption” story you’ll hear today:
My younger son tries to sneak sugar packets out of restaurants and eat them in the car. We’ve taken to checking his pockets, so he stuffed five of them in a hollowed-out breadstick. pic.twitter.com/F81jQuvW7g— Peter Hartlaub (@peterhartlaub) August 21, 2018
And he’s not kidding.
Look!
Think he deserves a packet just for all that effort, frankly.
How did he manage to do this at the table without you seeing?

It was a family event with 60 or so people. I’m guessing whoever was sitting near him thought it was hilarious and covered for him.

Honestly, it’s so creative that I would have covered for him too. pic.twitter.com/UF5wHHaomK

Get busy living, or get busy dying. That’s God damn right.

I wish my kid was this creative.
He sneaks fruit snacks when he’s downstairs by himself and hides the wrappers in the couch cushions.
I finally told him “if you just threw them in the trash we’d never know but eventually we’re going to find the ones you leave in the couch.”

At the base of that cupboard, you’ll find a breadstick that has no earthly business being in an Alameda kitchen …

Some people, alas, couldn’t get over the sugar bit.
So are we just going to make Shawshank quotes and skip over the whole kid eating sugar packets thing? Yep I guess that’s what we’re doing here. pic.twitter.com/E6JVLkQ0yt

If I promise to only feed my kid seaweed snacks and fruit he picked from the yard, can we just stick with the “Shawshank” quotes? Thx much.

In his defense, that crystallized brown sugar is crunchy and delicious. I used to sneak it when I was a kid and my parents were strict about junk food.

As a type 1 diabetic who sometimes grabs them for other reasons, I can tell you he has excellent taste. That’s the good stuff.
