Think quick: You drop a full quart of yogurt and it bursts open, spilling all over the floor. What's your first reaction?
Don't let the picture fool you-the kids' first reaction was not to grab a spoon and dive in.
Lizzy's initial reaction was to jump off the chair, slide face first into the yogurt, and start licking!
So I stepped in and taught them some manners. When eating liquids off the floor, please use a spoon.
(note for my moms: I had just swept, mopped, and steam sterilized the floor before we went grocery shopping.)

...Must have been plain, unsweetened yogurt, huh?
