Well he is right, but you should remind him he should also drink some plain water – as when we sweat we become hot and we need to replace the fluid. I pour my kids a water or give a water bottle throughout the day and encourage a sip here and there. It helps if you drink too, a nice cup of cold water mmm. I take a water bottle from the freezer every morning, my kids love that and I do too

  Dylan attends a group called “Mighty Rugby” which is absolutely fantastic for children and when they are playing the games they are also encouraged to have a drink of water about every 20mins. So he is learning how important it is to also have a drink

Very clever little boy, indeed.

Kids are so smart these days and full of logic, lol

lol funny because I reach for watermelon when I am dry but am sick of drinking. Kids are getting to smart to soon these days

Lol that is cute. I remember taking my half French son to Aldi and he wanted to buy some French Fry frozen chips, to which I replied “I like the straight cut better, don’t you think?” He replied “Well mummy I am French, shouldn’t I have French Fries?” Lol, he was only a tiny boy at the time but I have never forgotten it!

Yes we are bringing up a generation of know alls lol
