Didn't Sound Good

I knew it probably wasn't good when I heard from the pantry, "I'm making chocolate milk, Mama!"

It could have been much worse. John had found the unsweetened cocoa powder and a straw, and had stuck the straw into the powder and was sucking it up dry into his mouth to eat it. (Of course, also spilling it on the ground.) This kid won't drink any cow's milk (or goat or soy or almond . . .), but he'll eat chocolate "milk" dry!
