dehydration

This past Monday was the first game in the fall softball season. It was also the first day of ballet, so it was a little bit of a crazy day. To make life a little simpler, we had Little Cesar's pizza, which included a 2 liter of soda.

Here's the conversation we had about soda at dinner.

E: Can I have some soda mommy?

Me: No.

E: Why not?

Me: Because I don't want you to get dehydrated before Daddy's softball game.

There was then an explanation of what dehydration is... when your body doesn't have enough water. At the softball game that evening, Elizabeth has the following conversation with Lindsay.

E: I couldn't have soda at dinner.

L: How come?

E: Because Mommy doesn't want me to get hedydrated. That's when your body doesn't have enough water.

And off she walked, thinking she had just explained something new to Ms. Lindsay.
