Selfish Parents...Sick Kids

Man, I knew this night was NOT the night to GOOF OFF.

Like most every Friday night, my wife and I and our three boys go out to our favorite pizza shop and get these crazy good 9" personal sized brick oven pizzas. I mean these are the real deal, will rival all, as authentic as you can get (sans jetting to northern Italy)brick oven pizzas. Bite into a slice of this thin crust stuff and bam!... you are sitting outside a rustic trattoria in the centre de Milano, delving into and devouring that thin crusted, Italian originated delectable and speaking fluid Venetian dialect with your Armani wearing bretheren(...yeah, that freakin' good!)...I digress...

Friday night is our "Goof Off" night...

So, I'm driving to this pizzeria and our eldest boy Matt starts to complain about this earache he's been battling all week. I knew that if he ate any type of refined sugar (pizza dough...refined crap!) his earache (inflammation of inner ear tissue) might get worse and probably would not get better. But, that pizza "kicks ass"! And I convinced myself that Matt Jr. will survive this one indulgence just fine.

Hey, he looks forward to this GOOF OFF Friday as much as the rest of the Jennings brood and just might "ward off" the ill effects of the "floured poison". Yeah, right...

The next day...this morning as a matter of fact, Matt wakes up screaming in pain.

Damn, this was exactly what I was afraid of and really...just what I expected.

I let my guard down, allowed my son to eat something I knew would "feed the infection/inflammation" of a painful earache; why? because that freakin' pizza tastes too damn good!

How many times do we do this to our kids?

And, to OURSELVES?

S#!T...

It's the same old story every freakin' single time...

Put into body crap information (-grains, sugars, flours)

Body spits out crap response!

Hey, IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE A CHILD WITH AN EAR INFECTION, SINUS INFECTION...(Inflammation)

OR A 40+ YEAR OLD PARENT WHO SUFFERS FROM CHRONIC KNEE PAIN, BACK PAIN, SINUS INFECTION, etc...(Inflammation)

The quality of LIFE that each of us experience is the direct response to the quality of what we choose to put into (or to not put into) our bodies.

Put another way...

Physiology DOES NOT LIE!!!
