Yesterday we were enjoying our typical post-church breakfast at a local eating establishment. Craig ordered a Diet Coke, I ordered water, and Kate was finishing some of her Acai juice she had snuck in from the car. Kate kept suspiciously eying up Craig’s drinkfrom a distance; quietly assessing the situation. When he left the table for a moment, she gave me this know it all look.
KATE: Mom, Daddy’s pop isn’t healthy.
ME: Oh.
KATE: No, it has lots of sugar in it.
ME: Well, I guess it does Kate.
KATE: It’s isn’t healthy at all mom.
At that moment, Craig arrives back at the table.
KATE: Daddy, your pop isn’t healthy.
CRAIG: (looking at me) Did you tell her to say that?
ME: Um no, I swear I didn’t.
KATE: It isn’t going to help you grow big and strong.
Then, she shook her head and continued eating her breakfast.
If she were about twenty years older, she would have finished that conversation with, “Ugh, I sound just like my Muh-ther!”

I channel my mother all the time. It's scary, really.
Bless her, she's got adulthood sewn up already! :)
AWWW Love that conversation so cute!!!
I love what kids say, they amaze me thats forsure! :)
But no issues with paying for the meal this week?
Cate - Ah, we learned our lesson this week. We totally went back to a place where she could pay at the counter. Do you think I was going to subject myself to that nightmare? LOL!
Now that you've established your own innocence, you should give her the low-down on aspartame, and all the potential health issues.
that's too cute!!
How cute! Nothing like a little kid guilt to make you stop drinking pop....it worked for me!
And we use the same phrase with our daughter..."big and strong". Sadly she is neither.
And I forgot to say...
Hooray for calling it pop!!! Take that, my ignorant husband from California!
LOL...Awesome! I'm sure daddy is shaking his head realizing he has TWO crazy witty girls in his life (wink) :)
