I haven't had a glass of milk since I was 17 years old.
That is when I moved away and it was no longer a dinner table requirement. Now, while I have moved back home and it is technically still a rule, I have found drinking a tall glass of ice water instead to be one of those "little rebellious acts" that keep me feeling satisfied in my role as the defiant daughter without getting Mum in a tizzy about my exaltation.
Now I know what you're thinking. You're thinking about how this girl will most likely die of osteoporosis especially because it "runs in the family."
Well you know what? Simply the thought of milk tricks my gag reflexes into thinking its time for a fiesta in my mouth. Really, just uploading that picture had me thinking about that texture, that taste, that cows utters!
So, if it so happens that I find myself laying on my death bed in x amount of years due to osteoporosis, I will look back at each wonderful day of milklessness and think, "Good times, good times."
And besides.... Ice cream has calcium! So betcha' bottom dollar if you ran some tests I'd actually be sweating calcium through my pores.

Eww I switched to soy milk like years and years ago!!
Soy milk is good! I haven't had it in awhile though. I never really got why people were so obsessed with drinking milk. Yes, it's good for you, but it tastes so much better in other things!:)
You know Molly, I HATE milk and really none of my kids are milk drinkers. My boys and Dave will dip their cookies in milk, and if we have cereal we'll use it, but to pour a BIG glass and chug it.....GROSS!!!! (well maybe Dave will) I was kinda worried about this since even as babies and they were done nursing I never offered them alot of milk, cause I never drink it. Anyway, I asked a doctor one time at a well baby check about it and she asked me if I was a cow and of course I said no and she said then if you're not a cow why would you drink cows milk? Hum...good question! So I didn't feel bad after that not giving my kids milk. Of course they eat enough ice cream...
Dang that was a LONG post! Hope to see you while you're here in Texass.
