The Effects of Hot Sauce

I know some people use a drop of hot sauce on the tongue as a punishment for lying; a creative deterrent that I was going to use myself. Until...

I think I failed to mention in this post that we had someone coming to look at the house to give us a quote on finishing the basement and installing a deck at 4:00 Saturday afternoon. So between the adventure that was Saturday and the estimate that lasted an hour, there wasn't much time for dinner prep. It took a lot of convincing, but Sean agreed to go to Qdoba for dinner (please read the previous sentence with as much sarcasm as you can muster since Sean lives for burritos and free food and Qdoba happens to have both - kids eat free on the weekends). Sean is looking forward to the day when he can take the boys there and they can race to see who can finish their burrito first. Okay, I might have made up the racing part, but he really is excited about the boys enjoying burritos. I don't think it will be long - the boys seemed to enjoy their kids meals and the hot sauce that is a necessary condiment added to each bite of everything at Qdoba. Take a look.

A little background before you watch:
  • The orange sauce in the small plastic tray on the table is hot sauce
  • Wesley enjoyed dipping nearly every chip into the sauce and subsequently "dancing" in the video to Wham!'s Everything She Wants
  • Jack is dipping his quesadilla in the sauce and then licking it off.

It's also worth mentioning that shortly after this video was taken our older son expressed some digestive upset complete with "hand on belly" gestures. We weren't sure if it was the hot sauce or all the dancing.

We are no longer worried about sugar or caffeine having ill effects on our children*...just don't give them any hot sauce!

*Grandparents: the statement above was made for dramatic effect only; please do not construe this to mean that the children should be given sugar and/or caffeine.

Funny! Wesley's dancing is too cute and the look on Jack's face when he gets a bit too much sauce is awesome too - although obviously he likes it and that won't stop him from consuming more!

Back to the drawing board on the lying punishment!

Message to grandparents acknowledged by the children's Nanna and Papa. We will leave the poor feeding habits up to the parents. Who then get to deal with the after effects. :)

Sean and I have been watching this video a lot and, needless to say, it cracks us up. There is a part before the "head shaking" reaction where you can see Jack sticking his tongue in and out, presumable to cool it off. He's kind of hiding it behind his quesadilla so you have to watch closely.

I think my favorite is Wesley's lips before you even hit play.
