My oldest sister explained to me when I was about 4 why my parents wouldn't let me drink coffee. She said it was better than chocolate and they didn't want to share. Since they weren't home at the time, she offered to sneak me some. I was overjoyed and opened my mouth wide to accept a heaping teaspoon of instant coffee grounds. Oh my God. It was horrid.
Fifteen years later I was babysitting her daughter and asked if she knew why her mother didn't let her drink coffee....
FOFL ... Oh My
My oldest sister explained to me when I was about 4 why my parents wouldn't let me drink coffee. She said it was better than chocolate and they didn't want to share.When my twerp was about 3 he came up to me one morning and said "wa zat?" I said, "Coffee, you won't like it." He said "lemme try!"
So I did.
He took one sip, swirled it around, swallowed it. THEN DRAINED THE CUP! "More coffee!" he says.
So we made him some decaf. The little turd refused to drink it.
He's Abby Normal, that one. I mean how does a three year old have a taste for coffee, the ability to recognize the difference between regular and decaf, and have a strong preference???
