Friday - Juice Box Jungle

Today on my drive into work, I was thinking about boxes of apple juice and the politics around them in my household. I buy them in two sizes; 8-once boxes for my toddler son, who can drink his weight in apple juice, and 4-once boxes for myself to treat when my blood sugar level gets too low because of my diabetes. The politics of apple juice comes up because my son knows that both sizes of container have apple juice in them. Loving juice the way that he does, he considers himself to have dibs on any juice in the house. This leads to disagreements between us.

We had just such a disagreement on Tuesday, when I woke up sick that morning from a stomach virus that my son brought home from his daycare.
