Got Milk?

You all are familiar with those print ads. Some celebrity promoting milk with a milk mustache and some catchy little caption. I consider them fortunate: at least they have enough milk to make a moustache. It seems in my household we are forever running out of milk. And that apparently no one else feels motivated to buy more.... even though they still reach for their cereal box in the morning before the realization sinks in....that no one (meaning ME) has gotten around to filling that big void front and centre in the refrigerator.
Last Thursday we ran out of milk. Thursday. I thought I would wait and see how much time passed before someone else actually made the connection between their empty cereal bowl and making a trip to the grocery store.














What?? You're waiting for an answer. Keep waiting. I know I had to.




TUESDAY. And only because I finally broke down and 'asked' someone if they could pick some up. I was tired of seeing Corey staring wistfully at the hot chocolate tin.

Next time I will consider one of two options:

1) Bake chocolate chip cookies that just cry out for an accompanying glass of milk and see if that drives anyone to take action

OR

2) Post the following image on the fridge. (Keep in mind, that I am the only female in this house.)

---My inspiring mouse pad illustrated with hunky doctors clad in their jockey's (it was a free product advertising Jockey boxer briefs) lasted only about 3 days.----I doubt Beckham would last 3 hours before someone actually replaced the milk.------

---Of course they could retaliate by posting the Got Milk? poster of Cindy Crawford or Terri Hatcher.........

I suggest buying a jug of milk, hiding it somewhere at room temperature until it goes bad, then putting it in the fridge. Then sit back and enjoy the reactions when said mild gets poured on cereal.
