If you give a mouse a cookie...

Acadia woke up at 3:30 last night asking for milk. Sigh. No surprise - the report I got when I came back from book group last night was that she didn't eat much of her dinner and had hardly any milk before bedtime.

Here is my version of the children's book, If you give a mouse a cookie...

If you give your daughter a glass of milk, you will realize that you can't possibly go back to bed without brushing your teeth first.

If you brush your teeth, you will realize how much you have to use the bathroom.

If you use the bathroom, it will remind you of how very thirsty you are.

If you get a glass of water, you will need ice.

If you get ice, you will remember that you are out of butter.

If you remember you are out of butter, you will then run through other groceries you need in your head.

This is bound to keep you up for a while.

All because you gave your daughter a glass of milk.
