Yesterday my 9 AM piano student asked me about half way through her lesson, "Do my eyes look different?""No." I said.
"Oh. Well I'm really tired. And this is how my eyes look when I'm really tired."
(Her again a few minutes later) "Do you drink coffee?"
"No." I said.
"I do." She said proudly. "I had to get up at 6 this morning. My mom told me I could have coffee later if I was too tired. I really need it today."
"Zoe, you're 9 years old. You don't need coffee to get you through the day."
"Some days I just neeed it."
SHE'S 9! and already thinks that the best solution to lack of sleep is coffee. It's summer. She doesn't have a job. Take a nap for heaven's sake. That's really what she neeeds.

I agree. I have a real problem seeing so many kids walk around with those wacko energy drinks too.
That is just Laugh OUT Loud funny!!! I am from the South, and I can remember when my Great Aunt would make me cafe au lait. It was mostly milk, but that little teeny bit of coffee always made me feel grown up. As I look back now, I just laugh. It was what I saw and was taught. Now of course I don't drink coffee. But, can I take a nap? Pleease? I hope you are feeling well. I sure miss ya!
Now that is just silly.
What also makes me kinda sick is every high school here in Mckinney has 1 or more Starbucks on site. It was a huge deal when they put vending machines at my High school.
when we were looking into programs one of the "area attractions" 4 starbcuks. That is an area attraction?
.
Wah, that's sad.
