Something every mother loves to hear...

"I'll be right back with my cymbals."

Why is it...

...that every time I order a non-fat mocha WITH whip at Starbucks, both the cashier and barista hesitantly repeat my order like they didn't hear me correctly? Why can't someone want to save some calories, but indulge in a little bit of sweet fluffy heavenly whip cream on top? Does it have to be all or nothing?

A sign that Elise needs a sibling...

She is presently sitting under the kitchen table fighting over a toy with her stuffed Larry the Cucumber.
