0:00.0	Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast you can hear my live radio program Monday through
0:06.3	Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on Sirius XM Triumph 111. Joshua, welcome to the program.
0:13.6	Hi, Dr. Laura. It is a pleasure to speak with you. I've listened and learned and grown with you
0:19.8	down through the year since the days of the chicken dinner. It's very fun. And I'm a little nervous
0:28.8	to speak with you today, but I wanted to talk to you about my son. I have two children. They
0:37.6	are twin teen year olds. My partner and I married to a male adopted them officially at the age of
0:47.3	nine. My son joined our family when he was four. My daughter did not join our family until she was
0:54.6	seven. They split them up for a period of time. And the challenge that we're having at present is
1:05.2	my son periodically feels sweet, primarily, sometimes just food, but it's more along the
1:15.2	candy or the chocolate line of things. Sometimes with a sister and sometimes solo. Most recently in

1:39.0	out of control thing, but the past couple of weeks have been what I consider to be more out of control
1:43.8	because it's not impunger. He says he doesn't, when I ask him, why do you not ask? Any circumstances
1:54.1	he doesn't want to ask. And it's been where he could have eaten lunch already and just decided he
2:01.4	wants some Doritos or a piece of chocolate, or he put sugar on an apple. May I ask you a question?
2:09.8	May I ask you a question? If this garbage food is not in the house, it can't be eaten.
2:22.4	This is true.
2:31.4	When just stop on this, just stop there. Just stop there. This is crappy stuff for everybody.
2:39.6	You, your partner, the children, why is it there?
2:47.2	The answer, which I guess I'm kind of silly, is that I enjoy these kinds of things as kids.
2:54.0	Well, the kid wants to enjoy these kinds of things too and wants to do it without hearing
