Illustration Friday - Mesmerizing

When I was little I was mesmerized by Sweetarts. I couldn't get enough, I simply lost control and ate them by the truckload. Sometimes I'd see how many I could stuff into my mouth at the same time, other times I'd try and eat them slowly, only to find the roll empty within the hour. My stomach was left a mess. The roof of my mouth and my tongue where destroyed. But there was no hope, I wouldn't stop till they were all gone. This was true for Shock Tarts too, whose tingly sour taste I can still feel in the back of my mouth if I think about them long enough. 

Even though I'm now 22 years old, I still consider myself little and placing a package of Sweetarts anywhere near me will yield similar results. In fact, I'm pretty sure this is the reason for the ridiculous amount of mosquito bites I always tend to get. Chances are I won't stop thinking myself little until I'm 80, and then I'll just be crazy instead.
