Your not denying him if you haven't got it. |
|

I'll wager he knows sugared from unsugared. |

I heard a tale from my grandmother's waning days - her tastebuds, smell and vision were largely gone, and one evening she asked for a cup of coffee before bed. |
|
| |
Not wanting to wire her up that late in the day, and figuring she'd not know the difference, my aunt served her a cup of hot water in a coffee cup. Grandma enjoyed it mightily, probably replaying coffee memories. She asked for and received a second, and then went to bed. |

Something I've been doing: mix one of those 2-cup size
chocolate pudding mixes (sugar free) with a half-gallon of
milk. That's too thin to set up as pudding (at least for as
long as it lasts at my house; haven't had any left
overnight yet, so I don't know) but makes a fairly
convincing chocolate milk with a decent texture. |
|
| |
(There's also other flavors; you can blenderize them with
additives like rum flavoring, chocolate chips, candy bar
bits, nuts, bananas, and whatnot. DO NOT get [Jr.]
started on those.) |
|
| |
Have a bun merely because - thankfully - the title is not a euphemism for something perverse, revolting, and uttely nauseating and disgusting. |
|
| |
How about just teaching him the meaning and value of the word "No"? |
|
| |
You obviously don't live with my toddler. |
|
| |
No need to teach anything. Just say "no" and leave the room. |
|
| |
I'm not interested in fooling him. Only showing him that
not all chocolate milk is that great. |
|
| |
Save the parenting advice for Facebook. This is my kid
with specific issues. He does not get chocolate milk at
night. He gets his usual mixed drink of NyQuil, Benadryl,
Valium, muscle relaxant, Novocain, and a twist of lemon,
the same as daddy... |
|
| |
Have you tried mixing unsweetened cocoa powder in? This
should impart a distinctly “chocolatey” appearance without
adding any sugar to the milk. And if he ends up liking it,
the stuff is
more or less nutritionally inert. |
|
| |
Yes and then gradually replace the milk with water and within a few weeks you'll have the whole family hooked on proper hot chocolate. |

Few people know that the top 2/3rds of the Gherkin is actually
a holographic projection, necessitated by budget limitations.
This is one of the reasons why most helicopters are not
allowed to fly over London, and police choppers are given very
strict instructions to go _around_ the apparent building. The
13th (top) floor is actually roofless, and is manned 24/7 by
marksmen with silenced rifles. Their job is to shoot any birds
that appear collide with the top two thirds. |

The same technique is used for the frontmost 40% of Kim
Kardashian. |

As for the silver space suits, these have been available for
some time now. Have you spoken to your tailor? |
|
| |
What I feel most aggrieved about, however, is the lack of
string. In all the futuristic series of my childhood, most
physical effort was eliminated by suspending the key parts of
the actors from strings controlled by some unseen overhead
system. |
|
| |
On the plus side, there are more funny cat videos and of far
higher quality than Tomorrow's World predicted. |

[Rayfo] have you considered the possibility of simply
giving him the chocolate milk? |
|
| |
Milk Magic flavored straws is the correct answer. See link. |
|
| |
Max, I've also considered nuclear war, but neither
are appealing options for reasons that are similar in
outcome. |
|
| |
I'm not, repeat 'not' giving parenting advice. Totally not, but... if it was my kid, I'd probably make it a blue-moon special treat kind of thing. Sometimes for acing a test, and sometimes for no reason at all. |
|
| |
They really don't stay kids for very long at all... |
|
| |
//Save the parenting advice for Facebook. This is my kid

Quite right. Every child is different, and some crave
different things for different reasons. I think this is a
great idea. Alternatively, as an idea while you work on
Baking this, you might try some unsweetened cocoa
powder mixed in with some warm milk with just the
slightest dash of sugar to take the edge of bitterness off
the brew. Haven't tried it myself, so you might want to
give it a taste test before serving it to Jr. |
|
| |
Now I want white chocolate milk. |
|
| |
21, not certain if or how that would work. Jr. is of the age now where he can open the fridge, grab the specific container he wants, and hand it to me. I suppose I could refill it once empty with cocoa milk, but I think I'd rather just have him forget about its existence for a good while. |

And, thanks to you, so does everyone else. |
|

How about one of those electric shock dog collars ? |
|
| |
A brown crayon worked in Kindergarten, but tasted kinda waxy. |
|
| |
Hmmm, perhaps an opaque plastic container with white
milk but pre-load the straw with choccy milk to get'em
started? |
|
| |
What is white chocolate anyway? Chocolate that is
ashamed of its heritage and forgoes most of its flavor in
response? Albino beans? The leftovers of what happens
when you make dark chocolate? |
