One of my favorite indulgences is a large glass of ice cold Cherry Coke.
If we go out to eat, or to the movies, I have to have one.
Once in a while I'll buy a liter for home because the caffeine helps
with the swelling behind my eye and sinus headaches.
Whenever Isabelle catches me drinking it, she will beg and beg for a sip.
I always have to tell her
"just for Mommy. It's Mommy's medicine."
The other day I had poured a full glass and put it up
high on the counter while I went back in my room
to do some laundry. When I came out,
Isabelle was up on the bar stool frantically slurping that glass of Coke down
as fast as she could and took a quick breath to say:
"I'm sick Mommy, I'm sick"
and went right back to guzzling it.
(she wasn't sick)
I'm always entertained by this
2 year old
and her clever attempts to manipulate. :D
She had even grabbed her own straw before climbing up
to seize the moment when Mom wasn't looking.
