At least she's listening to us

Conversation from a car #342

Ally: I got chocolate at dance!
Me: I know honey. That's because you listened tonight (minor truth stretching there, but she did listen more than usual)
Ally: Chocolate is candy.
Me: uh-huh
Ally: Chocolate is junk food.
Me: uh-huh
Ally: Sometimes we have chocolate for dinner.
Me: uh-huh. No wait. Chocolate isn't for dinner. It's just a treat.
Ally: oh. But if I brush my teeth, I won't get cavities!

Nice try, kid. I'm not buying it.

  Dark chocolate is high in falvonols, which helps the body break down nitric oxide and promote healthy blood flow and decreased risk of heart disease.  Heart disease is the number one kiler of American women.  Cocoa in general is also high in antioxidants.  You just have to avoid the milk in the milk chocolates; milk negates the healthful benefits.

  Hey, I didn't do the research!

That's the excuse I gave Rob for buying $20 worth of valentine's day candy. (75% off this weekend Whoo-hoo) It's good for you. Plus, cheaper than the vending machines. Is 25 pounds of it exessive?

  Milk chocolate is bad for you.  Dark chocolate without milk and all that sugar is good for you. 

  Also, I just checked my earlier post.  There was a typo: it's flavonols, not "falvonols".  I think "falvonols" are a gasoline additive, and if it isn't, it should be.

Oh yes, they really know how to take advantage of those, "uh-huh" moments, don't they? Too funny!

There has been scientific-al research done proving that smiling is good for you. Chocolate makes me smile. Thus, good for me. I dare you to prove me wrong.

  A dare?

  I was going to say that research (all of it) shows a correlation, not a causal relationship.  Then, I was going to say you have to be more specific about the type of chocolate.  Then, I was going to mention the normal curve.

  But next, I thought it would be good to lose the dare because cigarettes make me smile.  Ta!
