I came downstairs yesterday and found my daughter holding a can of Reddiwip whipped cream. She had just pulled out a cereal bowl and was getting ready to spray the whipped cream in it.
"Excuse me," I said. "What do you think you're doing?"
"Making breakfast."
I looked at the clock. It was noon. "Breakfast? Girlfriend, it's lunch time, and Reddiwip is absolutely unacceptable. You need a well-balanced meal!"
"But Mom, it is well-balanced. It has milk which means it covers the dairy and protein food groups."
Oy! Don't you just love teenager mentality?
Close enough, right?
ReplyDeleteUh, right.
DeleteNice, hey at least it was somewhat thought out,
ReplyDeleteHa! Somewhat is the key word here!
DeleteI have done the very same thing, and I am considerably older than she.
ReplyDeleteHa! I actually think she learned that trick from her grandfather.
DeleteHa!!! Sounds like she has seen that great Bill Cosby clip about when he served his kids chocolate cake for breakfast...
ReplyDeleteThis is great!
~shoes~
Bill Cosby is such a great influence, isn't he? ;)
Deletethat is why they say pizza is the perfect food - has everyting - protein, vitamins, fibre, carbohydrates....
ReplyDeleteRight. Like chocolate is a bean, so it has to be good for you!
DeleteIf it has enough milk percetage-wise, I'd agree, but there's also a heap of fat and sugar isn't there?
ReplyDeleteYes, but we're not counting that!
DeleteAt least it wasn't Captain Crunch!

Ha! That'll be another day!
DeleteShe has a point
ReplyDeleteShe always does!
DeleteI think she's brilliant. You have a budding genius on your hands.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Scary, isn't it? ;)
DeleteSounds like she has it all in the bag or bowl
ReplyDeleteHa! Something like that!
DeleteI think she's on to something! My daughter (20 something now) would have done exactly the same thing in her teens. Matter of fact, she'd probably still do it now. :)
ReplyDeleteHa! Hey, you'd probably do it, too!
DeleteMilk AND air in that Reddi-Whip. Everything a growing girl needs... right? Right?
ReplyDeletea girl after my heart....
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments, pain is subsiding a little so thought I would visit my friends.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Glad you're starting to feel better!
DeleteHaha! And it's so true!
ReplyDeleteNas
We're not counting the sugar, though!
DeleteThat is cute. She had a response all set for you and she actually considered her choice beforehand!
ReplyDeleteThe girl is a genius!
DeleteTell her to add some sliced banana next time and she'll also have the fruit category covered.
ReplyDeleteTechnically, she's right. I agree with Susanne, throw in some fruit and she's good to go.
