oh yeah
-I do not like milk. I have never liked milk. I do not drink milk and will not put milk in my cereal. My milk consumption is limited to the negligible amounts that are added to certain foods. (mac & cheese for instance)
-To make my dislike for milk even worse, I was raised on a farm and the milk I was forced to drink was whole milk. When I attended school and experienced the horror known as 2%, I was mortified. Whole milk is sweeter, and 2% milk is basically 98% water and 2% milk. The foul liquid tastes even worse than the milk I grew up with. Bleh. And my friend taking a liking to skim milk just mystifies me.
-I do realize that, as I continually forget to take my calcium vitamins, I will most likely suffer from osteoporosis in the future. But hey... my bones where never very strong to begin with.
-Anyway, the other day I purchased my first bottle of milk. A whole quart. I felt so grown up and responsible. I only bought it so that I could make that box of macaroni that I had been craving and to mix into the oatmeal that I was also buying. I had no intention of allowing the nasty fluid near my mouth solo.
-However, yesterday as I cooked up a hot pocket, I browsed the refrigerator for something to drink. Water was simply too boring, I wasn't in the mood for capri sun, I decided that I shouldn't drink the can of soda, and I like to save the grapefruit juice for the morning. I stared into the fridge in disappointment when I saw the little-used quart of milk that had been pushed aside. "Hmmm," I thought, "What the hell. I'll give it a try." After all, it had been a long time since I had given milk a chance. I poured myself a glass.
-My first gulp was an experience like seeing an old acquaintance that you haven't seen in years. It was like a feeling of reminiscence. Not particularly enjoyable, but not overly terrible. It was the second sip that did me in. It was then that I realized, "Oh yeah, there's a reason I don't drink milk." I drank a couple more swallows because it seemed like the right thing to do. However, the majority of it went down the sink. Hopefully I will not make similar mistakes in the future.
