In an attempt to have her son stop eating sugar, a mother took her son hundreds of miles away to seek the help and guidance of her son’s hero, Mahatma Ghandi. On arrival and being presented to Ghandi, the mother asked for Ghandi’s help. He responded by telling her to come back in two weeks.

Two weeks later, full of high expectation at what ceremony or counselling might occur, she and her son returned to see Ghandi. When they arrived at Ghandi’s compound, he walked over to them, stopped in front of the boy and said to him, “Boy, stop eating sugar”.

The mother was not impressed. Her expectations of a more meaningful and deeper dialogue had not been met. Taking Ghandi aside she let told him,” If all you were going to say was,”Stop eating sugar”, why didn’t you save me and my son days and hundreds of miles of travel by saying it two weeks ago while we were both here then?”

Looking surprised, Ghandi responded, “But madam, two weeks ago I was still eating sugar”.
