Aidan has not yet tasted the liquid grace of God (we told him he needs to turn two first) but he knows a momentous occasion is at hand when I pull out my bean grinder and beans. Today he watched me closely, then began jumping up and down.
"Coffee!"
Lindsay and I looked at each other.
"Did he just say that?" I tried to see if the feat could be replicated. "C-C-Coffee," I coached.
"C-C-FOFFEE!" said Aidan. "FOFFEE! FOFFEE! FOFFEE!"
The way he was jumping around the kitchen, banging cabinet doors and chest-bumping the oven, I wondered if he had been secretly imbibing. At the very least, he's caught on to a vital element in the life of today's theologian.

And Its Name Shall Be Called Coffee

You know, I just don't get coffee. I know, not something to say on this blog. I've just never really cared for it.
I'll have a latte or capuccino on occasion, but that's about it.
I think I recall that you're a Pepsi addict?
The most generous thing I can say, Steve, is that I hope this little problem goes away and that things become better in your life.
Hey, it could happen.
I can hardly stomach the smell of coffee, let alone the taste, so I can't at all relate with Aidan's excitement.
Gimme somethin' with corn syrup, caffeine, and caramel coloring any day.

You're parodying Steve, right? Pointing out how childish he sounds? Nice repartee. ;)
What happened to your commentators, Ariel? The Barbarians are at the gates! No COFFEE! What is this world coming to? ;)
I don't know, man. It's as if all the cool people have shrunk into the woodwork and now the only readers I have left are these coffee-eschewing wing nuts!
I joke, I joke.

LOL. You're a twisted man, John.
