It started this morning. I made myself a cup of coffee and R asked why, as I only like tea. I said it was to do with caffeine which doesn't agree with me, which led to a discussion of what contained caffeine, to which she contributed 'irn bru'. Now I know we live in the barbarian lands, but didn't think she'd come in contact with it herself.
I obviously underestimated a 7-year-olds knowledge of the world around her. Turns out she discovered it last night at brownies. This would not be a problem in itself, except that the aforementioned meeting doesn't finish until 45 minutes after she's usually in bed.
She was quite tired this morning, yes.
My problem with it apart from the caffeine, is the colour. No drink should actually look radioactive, surely?
