The Horrors of Milk
I made brownies the other day and Colton was asking for milk to dip his brownie in (smart boy). I apologized and told him that we didn't have any more milk. Then I remembered I had "my" milk- the kids and I like two separate kinds. I'm not normally an organic food kind of person- as long as it looks clean, I'm usually good. Even at that, I figure you can always cut the bad parts off and eat the rest (don't worry- if I make you dinner, I don't do that to you- just me :) ).
But when I'm pregnant, I try to only eat organic meat, eggs, milk. Right or wrong, I feel like its just better for the baby- although who actually knows. So, I have a carton of organic milk for me and then the regular Giant brand of gallon milk for everyone else.
I said to Colton, "Oh! Actually! I'm not sure if you will like it or not, but you can have some of my milk if you would like. I would be happy to share. You might want to taste it first though before I pour you a cup- its been a while since you have had it and I'm not sure you will like it."
Colton said sure.
Ben looked at me, horrified. He said, "Hold on a second. You are doing to SHARE your MILK with COLTON?????"
I was very confused. "Yes- of course I'll share with Colton. He is more than welcome to have my milk. I feel like you're upset but I honestly have no idea why you look so incredulous. Its JUST MILK." Seriously??? What is wrong with this man???
Ben: "You seriously see NOTHING wrong with this?"
Me: "Uh- no. He is my son, and if he would like to have some of my milk- I am perfectly capable of sharing. What is your problem?"
Ben: "I just think this is totally inappropriate. I can't believe you see nothing wrong with this."
I swear I thought he had lost his mind and then it dawned on me- and I started cracking up on the inside. We were having two completely different conversations. I gave him the most ridiculous snide smile I muster.
Me: "That's right Ben. There is nothing wrong with me sharing my MILK from the CARTON in the FRIDGE. NOT FROM MY BODY."
Relief flooded his face.
Ben: "Oh thank God. That's not what I thought we were talking about." I laughed at him- out loud. That man thought I was going to pump breast milk and give it to my near seven year old. Good grief.
