Eggnog Monster

I introduced Troy to eggnog today. At first, he looked into the cup and said, “That’s yucky, dada!” I laughed and told him it was very yummy, then I took a small sip. He was still hesitant, so I asked him to just dip one finger in the cup and try it. If he didn’t like it, I’d drink the rest. But he might just find something new and unexpected.

He still wasn’t sure, so I set the cup down on his little table and walked away. He tentatively made his way over, stuck his hand in the cup, and came out with one drop on his finger. He stuck it in his mouth with a sour look on his face. All of a sudden his face lit up with a smile, and he exclaimed, “That IS yummy, dada!” He then proceeded to chug the rest of the eggnog.

Moments later, Troy came walking into the kitchen with an egg nog mustache and asked me for some more. I might have created a monster.
