place milo in a bowl

inspired by jill and clare chuckling about our son being named after a chocolate, malt-y, energy drink, i've been researching milo the nestle-oceania product. besides having a fun trick where you can design your own milo t-shirt (or surfboard, or skateboard), their site takes my son's name in vain in ways that make me giggle. quotes from the site:

• MILO was launched at the Royal Easter Show in 1934 (he's kind of an old soul)
• Try this delicious banana Smoothie with MILO! (because food is better when it's shared?)
• MILO contains 6 essential vitamins (among other things)
• Score with MILO and SOCCER (well, not until he's a good bit older, thank you)
• Ever wondered exactly how many different ways you can enjoy MILO? Of course you have! (must. not. make. dirty. jokes.)
• MILO was invented by Thomas Mayne. (won't justin be surprised!)

and my favorite:

• Here's what you get out of a glass of MILO and milk (besides the great taste and crunchy bits!) [i think they're confusing him with his brother hans - he's the one currently made up of crunchy bits...]

i'm kind of manic these days. as if "kind of" could describe any kind of mania. but i'm either up or down, never really in between. crying or laughing. the main thing keeping me from falling off either edge is milo, bless his little marble-sized heart - feeling him move, listening to his heart race and the *bloops* he makes squirming around - these things are the shirley temple version of the xanax-n-serzone cocktail i'd like to be taking.
