There's nothing better than a 4 AM hot chocolate. I wake Pete up, ask him his choice. "No, thanks," he grins through his cotton mouthed exterior. "You sure?" I breath, the saliva clinging to my gums. "Yeah." Positive, he rolls over. Sheri would want one. Jason too. I wonder if Kym would? or Nicole? I bet Val would, only if it was really sweet with fluff on top. Yeah, that's the ticket. Who ever said there was anything wrong with being a kid again. Drinking hot chocolate at 4 AM, just like Mom used to make. This is my childhood, twenty-two years later, Standing in the kitchen drinking hot chocolate. Alone. Perfectly content. |

On average, a person's blood sugar level is at it's lowest at 4 a.m.---so the hot chocolate would feed those sweet-starved cells in a most delightful way! And the caffeine effect of the cocoa would be off-set by the hot milk which is full of sleep-inducing amino acids!--so it's a win-win situation! Then you can go back to bed and have "sweet" dreams! tehe May I join you the next time? Warm hugs, EA |
