I (24f) have twin babies (1, m&f). As kids do they’re always trying to get into EVERYTHING, especially if it’s something they see Mama with often- like my phone and my coffee.
This morning I was drinking my first cup and it’s 6am. My daughter is awake and on my lap, reaching for my cup saying “hot, hot,” “mm, mm” like she usually does. Somewhere in my stupid half awake brain I remembered my mom telling me about the time my grandpa let my brother taste beer as a toddler and he was super grossed out by it and left it alone after that.
Well, I thought if she tasted my coffee, she’d hate it and stop trying to run off with my cup all the time.
Big fuckup. She loved it. Big grin and an “MMMmmm!!!” And reached for it again. I quickly put it on the table but the damage was done. She didn’t leave me alone about it for half an hour.
Apparently coffee isn’t as much of an acquired taste as I thought it would be.
EDIT: y’all I only put a spoon of sugar and a splash of half and half in my 10oz cup, I promise it’s not that sweet. This isn’t some creamer filled Starbucks dessert coffee, it’s regular old strong percolator coffee or kurig if I’m being lazy
TLDR: let my 1yo try my coffee so she’d leave it alone and let me drink in peace. She loved it and I’m never getting a quiet cup again.
