Project 365: Day 57 - Mon. July 13th, 2009

This is Cody. This is Cody's brain on one and 1/2 cups of iced coffee at 8:00 pm at night...

I wanted to kill him but I decided to save his life since it gave me something to blog about.

So here's the story before you call Social Services on me...I have a seminar on Monday nights for my online course. I always warn Cody when I'm either tutoring or in seminar so that he won't interrupt me too much. Well he called up in the middle of it asking if he could have a sip of my iced coffee. I wasn't really listening (there's a typical mom for ya) and just sent down a loud "YES" so the questions wouldn't keep coming...

Later when he came bounding up the steps talking a mile a minute I smelled a faint odor of something fishy...

"Cody - what have you been doing?"

"Just reenacting the Monocacy Battle"

"Did you eat a bunch of candy or popsicles while I was in seminar?"

"No - I just had a drink of your ice coffee"

"Cody - go get me my cup please"

Off he leaps and seconds later he is holding the evidence before me ... I didn't know whether to laugh or yell or just go drink 2 cups to catch up with him.

"Cody do you know what a sip is versus a drink?! You, my little friend, did more than sip or drink - you emptied more than half of this cup - which means that you drank over a cup and a half of coffee! You are 8 and it is 8:00 at night! What were you thinking?!"

"But it tastes like chocolate Mama - I just love it! It's ... it's just so GOOD!"

Well I couldn't argue there - he may not look like me but he is his mother's son.
