A Matter of Preference

Some people are very serious about the type of milk they drink - if they will even drink milk at all. Skim, 1%, 2%, whole, enriched, raw - drinking the right kind is of utmost importance. I like skim, and if ever I drink anything 2% or above, I have to drink a glass of water in order to wash it down.
Beka reminded me about a time when we were in Italy staying with some friends in Rome. Nathan had woken up, and Maggie was getting cereal for his breakfast. She set the bowl and spoon in front of him and went to look for milk in the refrigerator. The James drank skim milk and so Maggie found that in the frig. However, when she poured it over Nathan's milk, he let up a great howl accompanied by crocodile tears. "Goodness!" Maggie exclaimed "What is the matter?"
"I don't want water on my cereal!" he wailed.
There it is. Straight from the mouth of a four year old - support for all those who think that skim milk is nothing more than white-colored water.
