One day while finishing up in the barn, my two children (ages 4 and 6) wouldn't stop pesting for candy. The candy acutally belonged to a fellow barnmate and was there for her to feed her horse. I told my children that the candy was horse candy and that if they ate it they would turn into horses. We were halfway home from the barn when both brokedown into tears and said they were feeling really "funny". They proceeded to tell me that they had each taken a piece of the candy without me knowing and eaten it. They both thought for sure they were beginning to grow hooves, fur, a tail and ears.
