Let's make fun of youth again today...

"This much milk, from a cow (holding two fingers the right amount), the rest with coffee flavored coffee." Without fail they seem to be very confused by this order and must be watched so they don't screw it up... :mad:.

It sounds like I would be too
 
Soooo my Millennial daughter has worked at Starbucks for three years now while putting herself through University and living on her own in a town 2 hours away from us. I am very proud of the fact she can work 30-35 hours a week and still attend school full time and maintain a B+ average. Starbucks has an excellent scholarship program that encourages young people to both work and goto school. The upside for me is she gets one pound of coffee beans any flavour every paycheck. She doesn’t drink coffee so I now have several years supply of grind my own coffee to choose from....I find adding Irish Cream makes anybody’s coffee much better!
 
I'm not a coffee drinker. I just don't like the stuff. I do like tea though.

I walked into a fast food restaurant early one morning in Muskogee, Oklahoma. It was the only place open and my wife wanted coffee... I asked for tea. I know to specify "hot tea" because it saves the question. The server handed me a soda cup and pointed at the soda dispenser behind me. I handed it back and repeated "hot tea". She looked at me like I was from Mars and pointed at the soda dispenser again. I said it again, this time saying "you know, hot water and a tea bag". Got a "Huh?' that time. Turned out she didn't know that tea came from anywhere besides the soda machine and had ice in it.

Back when I was lucky enough to experience Carl's Jr breakfast burritios, back when cilantro salsa was an exotic thing... I started mixing a splash of their coffee with their (unsweetened, no lemon) iced tea. Something never seemed right about hot coffee when it was 90 degrees by 8 AM.

I call this goodness... wait for it...

Cofftea

Now the whole family drinks it.

PS: other minor trivia about me... you could take the entire volume of soda/pop that I've consumed in my life and it wouldn't fill a 2 liter.

I don't drink any soda myself, although Mexican Coke (made with cane sugar) is pretty good with a large shot of Jim Beam Black in it.

I've just never liked the taste of any pop... tastes like sweet battery acid. Yuck. 45 years later and no cavities!

My booze preference is rum. Preferably cocanut. Maybe I have pirate blood.

I find that people that have no children with opinions on how I should raise my child laughable.
My dad's girlfriend, who was a school teacher, and never had children of her own. She is amazed by the fact that my son never picked up on swearing although I have almost never curbed my language around him. I guess it's good to not shelter them but explain/teach them when, why and how.
BTW she does not tell me how to parent, just observe.

If you shelter your kids from life too much, they don't know how to act and behave when they are adults and have to deal with stuff they never saw.
