When I was little my mum told me I didn't like sugar, so that I wouldn't eat sugary things so much. So every time I would ask for sugary cerials she would say "No you wouldn't like that" and I would reply "You're right! Sugar is GROSS!"
Well a few years later I came up to my mom, and I looked really guilty, I told her "Mum, I have to tell you something.... You are wrong. I really DO like sugar"
