There's no handbook for PARENTING. So you walk a very fine LINE as a parent because you are civilizing these RAW things. They will tip the coffee over and finger-paint on the table. At some point, you have to SAY, 'We're gonna have to clean that up because you don't paint with coffee on a table.'
I'm a PRETENTIOUS COFFEE SNOB, and I love Starbucks. Gotta have my skim latte.
To me, the SMELL of fresh-made COFFEE is one of the GREATEST INVENTIONS.
I GOT FIRED for GIVING coffee away. It was just my regulars. I'd say, 'Don't worry about it,' and they'd put down a dollar tip. TECHNICALLY, I was stealing. Ethically, I was boosting morale!
