The Reason I HATE Milk

Sure, supposedly it's nutritious and good for you, but I'm never going to like it. This is why. I was a mere bottle-drinking baby when Lee babysat for one of my closest baby friends. Em was younger than me see, and she'd already put aside the bottle. Lee, out of what I can only call competitiveness, decided that I needed to be weaned off of my own. Maybe if she'd have read a book or have, you know, been patient, things would have turned out differently. Her impatience propelled her into taking drastic actions. She prepared a bottle for me and with good intentions gave it to me. I drank it. Why wouldn't I have? I didn't have trust issues at that point. She'd filled it with 100% (100%!) PURE LEMON JUICE!!! Ouch. Kind of explains the whole 'I only drink water' thing, doesn't it? My Mom still talks about it - she didn't know what had happened until recently. She used to look at me and say 'I just don't get it. You loved milk, but as soon as we put it in a glass you hated it'. True Mom, true.
