The Day it Rained Candy

I have Type II Diabetes. I’m rather open about it for a number of reasons, but the point is that both of my children know what it is, what can happen if untreated – more than they ever really wanted to know.

Recently, my wife came across a story that my son wrote at school. The assignment was to write a story from the title, “The Day it Rained Candy”. Here’s what he wrote:

The Day it Rained Candy

One day a boy woke up and it was raining candy. He ran outside to get some but the animals ate it all. He was sad. The animals were happy until they each got a heart attack.

Well, at least he was listening! 🙂
