Oh the brats I know.
I'm sorry to say but the kids who I half baby-sit while doing all my other jobs at work are a little bit spoilt. Just a tad.
They don't get what they want and they scream.

Now I'm always pretty calm and nice to them - I don't give in but I don't get nasty either.

Well except for this one time. They were down in their playroom at the back and the youngest two were screaming for a lollypop.
Such was the noise that the patrons out the front were actually looking as though they were half dithering as to whether or not they should call social services.

I had enough. The kids were screaming to the point were I was getting a headache - I was sick to begin with and by all rights should have been at home in bed.

"MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM I WANT A LOLLYPOP!" I hear being screamed from a mere 6 meters away. Their mother was busy serving customers - and the hue of her face told me she was feeling highly embarrassed.

So I just went down to the playroom. Stomp stomp stomp, went my feet. I literally yanked the door open and growled at them,
"RIGHT! Quit that screaming right now! There are customers out the front and you are scaring them away and embarrassing your mother! Stop this at once or you won't get ANY chocolate pizza. I mean it! You think your mum will give you treats when you act like this?"

The looks of fright from their faces was priceless. And they did shut up. And they've behaved theirselves pretty darn well since I frightened them like that.

It was so hard to yell at them though. I felt really bad. And at the same time the looks on their faces had me on the edge of hysterical laughter.

What the funk is a chocolate pizza? And please don't say "pizza with chocolate on it"

if it's the one i'm thinking about
it has a sweeter base, chocolate sauce instead of tomato, marshmallows, fudge and other assorted sugary treats on top. cook it like a normal pizza and eat it.
you'd think that, with all those goodies on, that it'd be nice.
it's not. it's sickly, heavy, too sweet and makes kids VERY hyper.

nah our's are different
normal pizza dough base - with chocolate cookie mixture on top.
Put that through the oven. Take it out and whack a small (miniscule!) amount of golden syrup, chocolate sauce and chocolate buttons (all of those need to be in very small quantities), and sprinkle a little castor sugar over the top.

Very sweet - not that heavy, and the kids only ever get it if there is a birthday on that day. Which there was (it was the youngest's). But that didn't stop me telling the little bints to shut up.
