Actual paraphrased post from one of my dietary messageboards:

"Can someone give me suggestions on what drinks to give my kids? Kool Aid is not GFCF, and they don't like Capri Sun."

End of post. It boggles the mind.

Oh yes, someone suggested that down the line, and her response was "Oh, I've tried to get them to drink water, but you know how kids are." Well, I guess you're right lady, I do know how spoiled your kids are now.

Yeah, i was wondering why not water too. Maybe if they don't like it plain they could have a squeeze of lemon in it or something (not sure if that's against the rules or not), but I find it hard to believe that there are parents out there that don't make their kids drink mostly water anyway.

I don't make my kids drink mostly water. they do drink a reasonable amount of water -especially when playing sports- but other than that they drink mostly milk. Through choice (and pop not being an option)

for the Brits:

This week, I have mostly been drinking milk!

I just remembered that when you guys came to visit, Hebe did ask if we had any milk. Kind of surprised me, since we're not big milk drinkers ourselves, but I was happy to oblige! Next time she'll have to settle for almond milk or bring her own, though... When I was in private school for the first few years of elementary, we were required to drink exactly two glasses of milk at lunch, no more no less.

Exactly two glasses of milk builds a loyal comrade.

Credit must go to The Simpsons; Ned Flanders' parents, episode where Ned loses it, flash-back to Ned's childhood.

One glass breeds traitors. Three causes psychopathological monomania.

I said to my bro on the week of the never ending migraine (caused by codeine sensitivity), "This week I have been mostly throwing up."

FTR - we had highly diluted squash as kids. Milk was considered food not drink; fizzy drinks (soda/ pop etc) were too expensive and would rot our teeth; and water was bleurgh bleaurgh dull in the days of limited fridge space/ no ice (we did have it when there were no other options, we just whinged about it.)

And squash was still limited for dental and financial reasons. I wonder what some people think being a parent actually means.

Huh. So thanks to SG, I finally looked up what 'squash' was. I've been drinking Ribena for years, and never knew it was 'squash'.
