Toddler Teaches Internet Viewers About Biochemistry and French Language

Whether or not you have your own children, those who have spent significant amounts of time in the company of kids know that they will teach, entertain, inspire and surprise you at every turn. The Vimeo video “Too Much Candy,” starring the French-speaking toddler Capucine, is an exceptional example of the humor and precociousness of intelligent, outgoing children.

I have seen few videos — particularly of the homemade internet variety — that are as clever, universal, and enjoyable as “Too Much Candy.”

For those who could use a quick recap of French 101, this memorable minute-and-a-half will serve your purposes better than that commuter CD you bought from Borders, but always leave at home. For those who require evidence for the position that too much sugar causes munchkin hyperactivity, this video short supports your claim with a splash of humor. And for those who simply appreciate the affability of curious (and occasionally, conniving) children, you will love “Too Much Candy.”

I simply can’t get enough of this — the video, not candy. Okay, fine, I can’t get enough of either. They’re just too sweet. Enjoy.
