There is something magical about straws. L who is three has decided that chocolate milk isn't the same without straws. In fact she won't even drink chocolate milk without a straw. Not just any straw, but a straw that she has picked out herself. It doesn't matter that she picked out the same color or even the same straw that I had just offered her just moments before. If she picks it out it hers, and hence better in her mind. Straw magic isn't lost on my 14yo either, she says that ice water taste alot better when you drink it with a straw. M loves to tie his bendable straw into a knot and then drink. Of course he is 7yo, but I understand that he learned the trick from P who is 14 ( or will be next week.)
Wow the magic of a simple straw, and if it is a bendable straw even better.
