   This morning, Wife gave Daughter eggnog to drink at breakfast, instead of milk. Of course, the instant reply was, "I don't like eggnog" (she's literally never tried it, as far as I can remember).

   I'm thinking of trying again tomorrow but telling her it's "Christmas milk" to see if that makes a difference. Alternatively, I could go with my favourite literal translation from the French and call it "Chicken milk."

         @Toxic_Flange It has some already in it. Adding more would probably result in, "That's disgusting! I DON'T LIKE CINNAMOOOAAAAWAAWAAWAAWAAWA"

         @Toxic_Flange But, for the record, calling it Christmas milk worked. I came down for dinner last night and my wife had already got kiddo seated with a drink. She looked at me and said, "I'm having Christmas milk, Daddy." She happily drank it up and asked for more.
