ThingTwo however, having been forced to endure all
manner of alternative food sources due to her severe
food allergies has a much more open and adventurous
palette. That is not to say she likes everything, but
she is willing to try new things, especially if Mom
or Dad are having some. This is fantastic news when
it comes to fruit, vegetables, and all the other
things we wish ThingOne would eat, but it also
extends into things we could have her wait to try.
Enter the Grown Up Drinks. SugarMomma, being the
holistically minded individual she is, saw no harm in
allowing ThingTwo to "sip" the vino she was enjoying.
What she wasn't expecting was the stunning caliber of
ThingTwo's vocabulary at such a young age, and the
power of certain words to pierce through the din of a
crowded restaurant and turn all heads in our
direction. "Mowr Wine, pleathe! I'm sure they were
just impressed with her power of language, ....right?
The looks we received we're a mix of amusement and
disdain, and understanding. All of you parents know
these looks, like the ones you get in the supermarket
checkout when your kids say something,
........honest. You know like "Daddy, that lady has
beard, like you!". So after this happened a few
times, SugarMomma stopped ordering the wine with
dinner. As summer is now approaching and "girly"
drinks like Vodka coolers are coming back into the
mix, she decided to be tactical about this situation.
Predictably ThingOne was repulsed by the idea of
anything remotely fizzy and ThingTwo is in there like
nobody's business. To avoid the stares of disdain,
SugarMomma decided to answer the question "what's dis
Momma?", with the answer "Broccoli Juice Baby."
