Bwah! I love this parenting philosophy!

Will I be paying you or your friends for the Wicked tickets?

Them. Probably at the Going Away Party that I have to invite everyone to. Still.

Sigh

adds one more thing to freaking list

If they look like freaks in college, that's their problem.

When I was actually living on a college campus (for that whole one semester), dry cereal was pretty much the most popular food, so they should be fine.

P-C, I don't think we can. Sorry. Are you coming to brunch on Saturday?

You bet your ass!

We just played the game of Inside, Outside. We spent the half hour getting ready to go Outside. Played for a whole hour Outside (it's gray with a side of chilly here). Then Head Toddler said, "Inside" and stood at the door for five minutes indicating a desire to return to the warm glow of Nick, Jr. on TV.

Packed up the toys and the snack bowls and the sippy cups and carried all Inside.

Screaming. Tears. Crying, "Don't wanna go INSIDE!"

I give up. I want to go back to drinking and masturbating.

And our damned babysitter bailed on us for TOMORROW night. *sigh* It's a launch party for our friend's new, syndicated comic strip. There will be adults and alcohol there. Feh.

Oh, so people added milk to the cereal to get kids to consume milk? I always thought it was because people didn't like crunchy stuff. I never ever had milk in cereal and always wondered why it was considered odd not to.

Now I want to know the origins of adding cereal to milk. Or the origins of quick breakfast cereal (without any of the icky Kellogg dude's freak-ass ideas).

I don't know that that's why people do it, but I decided I didn't need to care about my kids food preferences down to the detail of how they consumed the (usually healthy -- it's not all Cocoa Puffs around here) food, as long as they ate it, and since they already got enough milk, I realized I didn't have to care if the milk was in the bowl.

MM, obviously Emeline is proceeding with her plan for world domination - she's got the two of you jumping to obey her commands and the hot coffee on your crotch is to eliminate the chance of any competition (younger sibs). So far, she's doing pretty well.

One (quite probably erroneous) story I once heard involved Native Americans eating pop corn for breakfast. I don't recall if the story even mentioned whether they pour milk or some other fluid over the popped corn, or where I heard the story in the first place.

But it's an interesting story, and after all, isn't that "the Truth"?

The answer is "no."
