Growing up we used to make fun of my Dad because he used to eat everything watered down. I don't really know why he did, but he did. I have very clear memories of him taking a tall glass and only filling it half way with Orange Juice and the other half with Water. "Who likes watered down juice?" I thought to myself.... well maybe it wasn't that exact phrase. I was pretty young, so maybe it was really just "GROSS!"
Anyway, I have discovered that I do the same thing. We have these awesome new water bottles that I bought at Costco (best store ever!) that are extra big and amazing and I really like those Crystal Light packets that are meant for a normal size bottle of water, but I just fill up my big water bottle for just one of those packets when I should probably just use two or at least 1 and 1/2 packets. The other day I had my bottle of water and I put my packet of Crystal Light in it and Garret said, "Oh, what flavor is that?" I responded, "Strawberry, why?" He proceeded to tell me that he loves that flavor and put his hand out for me to give him a sip. Just before he went to take a drink he stopped and asked, "Did you only put one packet in this? Because if you did I don't want any, it tastes flat." I took a sip and said, "It tastes just fine! You can't put too much stuff in because then it's too strong and it ruins the whole drink, but if you're going to be a baby about it I'll put a little bit more in." So, I did and took a taste and all I could think was that it was now ruined because there was too much in it! It was in that moment that I realized that I like my drinks watered down just like my Dad.
