snippet of motherhood
My 12 yo thinks he should be permitted to drink coffee in the morning...and not decaf, "because that would be pointless". I was at least 14 before I joined the Coffee Achiever's Club*.
And who would be making this coffee anyway? Oh, and he requests soy milk and more agave. So now my kitchen is a coffee bar? (OK - actually it kind of is, but not for kids!) Will he next be specifying how many degrees at which he would like his no-foam latte?
I told him just to go to bed earlier.
His reply? "How about Red Bull then?"
* an advertising campaign in the '80's - but we had a "chapter" at my high school - I considered myself president

I wouldn't let my 12 year old drink coffee, but I'd be appreciative that he knows that decaf is pointless. He's savvy.
Wow. I didn't join that club until my 30s!
