So how old were you when you started officially drinking coffee? Do you still drink it, btw? How funny that you started w/ a tippy cup. You must have a very suave coffee palate, starting that young. |
Although I remember drinking from the dog's bowl at the age of 3, I'm not sure when they started giving me coffee, although I remember drinking coffee at age 4 or 5. It was mixed with half milk, and lots of sugar. My older siblings teased me that it would stunt my growth, the meanies! I still drink my coffee the same way, with milk and sugar, but now I use espresso coffee, which is much stronger.
BTW, my parents were WRONG to give poor Inky (the Cocker Spaniel) coffee, since it is on the list of foods that are toxic to dogs. Inky did go on to live a long life and she was fairly old when my father backed the car over her in the driveway
