I made strawberry shortcake tonight. It was beautiful, with fresh strawberries, a sprinkle of fresh blackberries, and even some strawberries in syrup (no gooey glaze!) to sweeten it for the kiddos. I begged my daughter to at least try it. She eschews all things fruity. I didn't tell her the Cool Whip was fat free, but I plopped a glob on there to increase its appeal. She took a bite and immediately ran to the bathroom gagging. When she came back she said, "You know I have a lot more taste buds than you. It only tastes good to you because you're OLD".
I guess the silly SLP in me told her some years ago that babies start out with approximately 23,000 taste buds and us "old" people die with only about 5,000. She remembered.

What is up with these kids so smart they have an answer to EVERYTHING! I have one, too, and half the time I don't know whether to laugh or scream.
