While on one of our roadtrips this summer, Claire spotted two horses peacefully standing in a pasture.
“Momma, look! It’s a Momma Horse and a Baby Horse!” she squealed.
“Wow, you’re right! How cool! Aren’t they pretty!?”
“Momma…” she said matter-of-factly. “The Momma Horse drinks Diet Coke, and the Baby Horse drinks milk!” She was so proud of herself for telling me how things are supposed to be.
Needless to say, she was a little disappointed to find out it really doesn’t work that way.


OH MY GOSH!
That’s great, absolutely HILARIOUS.
How funny!!
Tsk tsk – see what a bad example you’re setting for children and horses everywhere?? Although — at least it was Diet Coke and not gin & tonic or something.
Well, it would be an even WORSE example if the *Baby* Horse was drinking Diet Coke. But, that’s not allowed in our pasture, er, I mean our house.
