When my sister was 5 she ate candy soo much. one day when she was eating skittles from her halloween candy sack, my mom told her if she ate too much, her dentist wouldnt give her any prizes any more becuz she didnt do a good job brushing her teeth. She also told her that when she ate a couple more, she would turn into a skittle and she wouldnt be able to eat or drink. she carried this belief on for quite some time. She is now 9 years old and mom told her the truth.
