Breakfast of Champions

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?

    1. Right. Like chocolate is a bean, so it has to be good for you!

  5. If it has enough milk percetage-wise, I'd agree, but there's also a heap of fat and sugar isn't there?

  8. I 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. :)

  9. Milk AND air in that Reddi-Whip. Everything a growing girl needs... right? Right?

  11. That is cute. She had a response all set for you and she actually considered her choice beforehand!

  12. Tell her to add some sliced banana next time and she'll also have the fruit category covered.

  13. Technically, she's right. I agree with Susanne, throw in some fruit and she's good to go.
