A bill cosby moment
Do you ever have a Bill Cosby moment? Like when you're child gets up and decides he/she wants something totally inappropriate for breakfast like chocolate cake?
What do you do? Do you justify it like Bill Cosby did. (It has eggs and milk and flour ...)?
This morning the first words out of the mouth of my 4 year old were, "Iwannabubbugum" When I finally figured it out after getting her to repeat herself several times. I answered with a firm "no, bubble gum is not for breakfast." What would Cosby have done?
Out of sitemeter

He would have told an elaborate and funny story about the time he tried to have bubblegum for breakfast and the mess it made. By the time he finished, the child would have forgotten about the gum.
Then again, he always had an unlimited amount of time and did not have to go to work (or to minyon depending on when your child got up).
"Dad is great...he gives us the chocolate cake!"

Isn't it bad for them to eat at this hour? After all, they just ate supper twelve hours ago!" And then in the end when the wife comes down furious, the kids claim "we asked for eggs, and milk, and dad MADE US EAT THIS CAKE!!!"

Admittedly, it was a party, not breakfast, but it's still a family joke.
