A child hilariously and quickly failed a candy, listening and patience challenge by instantly gobbling the sweet treat.
Being a parent is an absolute blessing. Regardless of how far one progresses and excels in their career, Mom and Dad are the best, most important titles anyone will ever attain. There is nothing like being a father or mother and watching a youngster learn, explore and grow.
Children add so much joy, happiness and love to a household. They will change your life in every way imaginable for the better. But while children are all naturally curious and full of energy, there are plenty of other things they must be taught and learn. Some will come easier than others, as every parent will agree. One of the earliest things children must learn is to listen and be patient.
Understandably, nearly every child will struggle to pick up both. Many adults have issues with listening and exhibiting any grasp or understanding of patience. People want everything this instant, and they don’t want to wait any second longer than necessary. Again, that explains a lot of people, not just children.
A hilarious video captures a youngster having trouble picking up on this listening and patience thing. The clip begins with two animated, excited boys sitting at a kitchen table. A woman off-camera, probably Mom, directs the young men to sit down as she gives them transparent and direct instructions.
“I’m going to give these to you, and I’m going to go to the bathroom, and you have to wait to eat them until I get back,” Mom tells the two little boys. “So, don’t eat them until I get back.”
She then places a piece of chocolate before the two little boys.
You can likely guess how this is going to end. Seconds after Mom walks away, the youngest boy picks up the piece of candy before him and immediately puts it in his mouth.
But that’s not all.
The little guy is not satisfied with just one piece of chocolate. He wants more, and to satisfy his craving, he leans over, grabs his brother’s piece and gobbles it up rapidly.
The older brother responds with tears and aggression, giving his brother a few quick, forceful thumps on the back.
Hey, all’s fair when it comes to love, war and candy.
Hebrews 13:1 “Let brotherly love continue.”
