Chocolate Milk - it's good for you, right?

Fox likes chocolate milk.  I don't think there's any point in playing the blame game for which parent put Nesquik in Fox' milk first, but needless to say, he likes it (and it was me).  Mostly, he refers to it as (and this is phonetic spelling here people) cocao, sometimes it gets the full choco.  In fact, everyone in our family likes chocolate milk.  Robie even uses it as a recovery drink after big workouts.  Anyway, for the last 3 years, when lauren asks for chocolate milk we usualliy call it "chockey" because that is what she used to say when she wanted a drink and she was a toddler.  As we sat at breakfast the other day, Ashley asked what her word she used to say for chocolate milk.  I was saddened to inform her that when she was Fox' age I will still a good mom that wouldn't have allowed her to drink chocolate milk (either that, or it was so long ago i just don't remember!).  Oh, how far the great have fallen....

Hey, whatever gets them to drink their milk! Besides when they have cute words for it, who can resist?

Could be worse. You could BRIBE your child to drink chocolate milk, which is mixed with twice the amount it says on the box just to try and get them to TASTE milk. (and it would still fail.)
