2014 Blog 153: A Kid’s Meal

After swim lessons, the eight year old boy grabbed a bag of cheddar cheese popcorn from the vending machine. He seemed pretty excited. He did not eat it on our way home. It was kinda odd. We got home and he had to show it to his brother.  We know it was not for his brother. We wondered.  He was not telling something.  He still looked so excited. He had it many times before, so what is new?  Then he asked me for a cup of milk. As soon as he had it, he opened the bag of cheddar cheese and poured some of it into the cup of milk. Really. I asked him if was experimenting something and he quickly answered, with a big smile, that he just wanted to try if it will taste good. Yes, he was having a food experiment. He let the popcorn soak a little bit.  As soon as he thought it was good already, he drank the milk and then munched the popcorn into his mouth. He concluded, with a bigger smile, that it is good indeed. Nothing else is said but he asked for more milk. I believe him but I did not dare tried.

Does it sound like a good snack to you?

2014 Blog 050: Are You Absent Minded?

~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~

What would you do if one morning, you open the pantry and saw your jug of milk inside! Would you (a) be mad, or (b) just laugh?

This morning was exactly what I just said and I instinctively laughed… so hard. Whoever ‘s fault it was, I didn’t care. I thought it was so hilarious for someone to absent-mindedly put the milk jug in the pantry instead of putting in the fridge which was just next to it.  Most people were out already by that time. I could only ask the notorious 8 year old milk bandit of the house. But he promised it was not him. I didn’t think it was him. I suspected it was the one whoever cooked the brownies last night. Not me. I just laughed all morning thinking how out of his head he was.  Last night,  he must have put the milk altogether with the left over ingredients into the pantry. Unfortunately, I decided to throw it away since I can’t really tell how long has it been out of the fridge. Through out the day, the thought gave me giggles. I just thought it was funny.

So after work, I bought a new jug of milk to replenish the family milk needs. The suspect was also home already.  It’s Thorr.  But! He didn’t look surprised at all when he saw me with the milk. He even told me that last night he wondered where the milk went?   So apparently, the milk was already missing when he cooked the brownies last night! Oh boy! As I gathered further investigations, I think the culprit might actually be me!   Just maybe I might have put the milk inside along with the cereal box?  Ugh I don’t remember.   But then, I am now laughing even more.

So. Would you be mad or just laugh?

2014 Blog 013: The Milk Bandit

Tonight, the 2 liter milk was found to be empty. It was just bought yesterday, so there was an enormous excitement.. why.. how..who?!! Elektra flipped the box upside down and took the last drop to his huge bowl of cereal. The milk of course was not enough at all. An immediate blame was made to the brothers. Though the mystery was not really a mystery of course, because I know the culprit. It was the littlest one. Spiderboy. He has been gulping on the box of cereal and pouring milk like there is still a lot (but not really). He did not have to speak. All he did was give out his guilty smile. He is proud of himself for doing so. He is a brown, skinny, 53 pounder eight year old guilty boy. And he needs more milk. Milk is what delights us these days. Milk. Milk. Milk. It is good for you at any age.

Milk. It will make the bones strong. So that you can still dance pass the age of 80. Why not? Milk. It will make the teeth healthy. So you can laugh out loud with no teeth falling out. Milk. Drink it cold so you can quench the thirst of your growth. Milk. Drink it warm so you can sleep like how a baby enfolds.

We must join the Milk Bandit!

So. Do you have milk?
