[null and void]

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???

It's in the genes? :-)

My wife and I consume mucho cups daily (especially me - like 10 cups of the good Costa Rican stuff). My little girl was 18 months old when she started asking for coffee after supper.

She's been able to kick the habit since. :-)

My children, all 3 of them, LOVE coffee, I have to hide my cappucinos because those'll disappear if I set it down for a second...Now I make the girls milk, with a splash of coffee. They won't drink tea though, not a sip.
