I wonder if that really was my last pink. That would make it an ancient memory. Sad.<BR/><BR/>I concur on the great mother part. We take Monkey to liquor stores all the time. She knows our favorite brands, and she knows that alcohol is not a great evil or anything terrible.

(It's by the guy who ran all those interesting experiments on what affects how people eat, including the endless soup bowl, etc.) He has a section where they put inexpensive wine into more expensive bottles, and the people enjoyed the wine as if it were $50 a pop. <BR/><BR/>I think our expectations and perceptions of enjoyment contribute a huge degree to actual enjoyment.

I adore Fat Bastard - that little hippo just makes me laugh every time I look at her. <BR/><BR/>Honestly, I was raised better, but I can't help buying a wine because I like the label - it's never about the overtones of oak and cherry with a hint of chocolate...nope.
