Hangs head in shame...A couple of years ago, my local primary school asked me to help out with a school trip to some museum or other.
I was escorting a group of six kids from the coach park when I noticed that one of the brats was clearly eating an enormous sweet of some description, most likely a gobstopper. So I told him to hand out the sweets to his classmates rather than being a greedy guts and keeping them all to himself.
Cue embarrased shoe-gazing from five kids and tears for ten minutes from a child suffering since he was a baby with cysts inside his mouth...
I still cringe at the memory.
