Breaking Jaws

This week I was posted outside of "Rotchur Teeth" All over again. I fondly recalled all the parents from the week before stating "NO CANDY! It rots your teeth!"
Turns out this week was a pretty similar regime as the last.
Endless statements of teeth rotting and cavities, and empty threats of taking children to the dentist, who will then pull out all their teeth. One mother boldly told her child in growing impatience "It will rot out your teeth and then you'll look like a hillbilly! Justin Bieber won't marry you if you're missing your front teeth!"
This stuck in my head and made me laugh because I recall my cousin telling her child almost the exact same thing word for word. Only instead of the Biebs it was Nick Jonas.
One argument that stuck out in particular was that about Jaw Breakers. Yup! Jaw Breakers.
Some of the lucky kids who's parents promised them candy and stuck to it went into the shop and got to go a little white girl crazy. These kids had bags upon bags of candy. I figured the parents had really messed up or the kids had done something REALLY good.
Any how, these little creatures came out and instantly  the candy was in their mouth. Within a few moments, the two of them started a fight over who go the jawbreaker. Not just any jawbreaker.... THE jaw breaker. It was one of those large white ones thats just about the size of a grown mans face. The legendary jawbreakers that rubs tongues raw. I don't think anyone in the history of mankind has ever managed to finish one of them. They're all different layers with different flavors, and solid as a boulder.
Now, I swear, these kids were going to break each other open over this prized candy possession. The parents, who were distracted with paying or talking to the cashier were too caught up to realize the near catastrophe that was about to happen. Eventually the aggravated pinches and shoves shared between the children in their candy feud escalated into a hard slap from one child to the other. I shut my eyes, because I knew then that there was about to be some trouble, and there was. I didn't keep my eyes open long enough to see the outcome, but I DO know that there was no candy to be had that day by either child participating in what we shall call, the candy crush.
Outside of this candy feud, there was really no outstanding observations to be made.
I did, however, find myself wondering why exactly children got so territorial of their candy.
I noted throughout the experience that most children were not partial to the idea of sharing their loot. Though not all of them were so extreme in measures to protect, or even horde, their candy, most were not comfortable with the idea.
I only noticed that a handful of children were completely content sharing their candy with their parents and/or siblings, and I couldn't help but wonder why exactly that was. Perhaps it was a character trait? The way they were raised? Perhaps its just human nature.
Either way, I learned that there are some children in the world that would just about break jaws for a jaw breaker.
