So, apparently it is best to take your vitamins in the morning as the body absorbs nutrients better then than at other times of the day. I don't remember when I read that - although I'm willing to bet that any health practitioner worth his or her salt will tell you "the best time of day to take anything is when you'll remember to take it," or something along those lines.

But that's not the point. The point is that I'm trying to remember to take the vitamins in the morning. And I did today! But not yesterday. So, last night while my sister was over, I remembered that I hadn't taken them. And so I asked the little one if she wanted to partake (she did), and then I trundled off to my medicine cabinet, and grabbed three - two for me and one for my sister.

Upon my return I proffered the three and offered her her choice of purple, orange or pink. (She got to choose because she's done with school and is leaving me for the summer. Under normal circumstances, youngest siblings should take what they can get and be happy about it.) She looked at them and said "what does the pink taste like?"

Me: Like pink. They all taste like chalk, really, but they remind me of my childhood.
Her: Huh
Me: Did you not have these when you were little?
Her: Nope.
Me: Haha, Mom loved me enough to give me vitamins!
Her: Well, Mom loved ME enough to feed me a balanced diet. .
Me: ...
I wasn't quite sure how to recover from that one...
