Third Time's a Charm: No Ridiculous Pregnancy Comments

Tell Mommy: Do Kids and Coffee Mix?
It's not unusual to see a youngster sipping a Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino these days, but does the caffeinated beverage and wee ones mix? While a mama giving her child a sip of her cup o' Joe is one thing, a flight attendant getting an 8-year-old girl a Venti Starbucks coffee is quite another. The parents of Payton Parkerson are upset after their child flew Northwest Airlines's unaccompanied minor program (which costs an additional $100 each way) and was advised to buy a large coffee by the airline attendant who was caring for the charge during a layover in Detroit, The drink had six times the caffeine of a can of Coke and allegedly made the child fall ill and vomit on the plane.

There's something about pregnancy that makes me constantly crave foods that I cannot eat, even those I seldom ate when I wasn't expecting. As tempting as alcohol may be to some mamas-to-be, my beverage of choice since becoming a mom is Starbucks iced green tea.

Lil Tip: When Kids Get Sick in the Car
Once when my aunt was queasy in the car and they couldn't pull over, my grandmother passed her hat back for the child to throw up in.
While I've never tried that trick, in a pinch I've caught vomit in my hands, my skirt, a blanket, a box, and a shopping bag.
Unless your tot gets carsick, you probably won't have too many of these situations.
