Mary P., esteemed daycare guru and mother, has a fun response to the whole Momtini controversy: She's running a contest.

I'm not quite sure what you win, aside from the chance to experiment with a bunch of potentially yummy recipes and have a fun evening (or whatever) with your girlfriends, but who cares? I don't know about you, but I'm always up for a bit of mischief--especially subversive mischief.

I'm not a big drinker. It's not a tolerance issue, although when you know that you and only you are going to be getting up with those kids and dealing with their eight hundred zillion demands, it certainly plays into your decision whether or not to imbibe. I just don't particularly like the taste of alcohol.

I do enjoy this particular concoction, however. So, I present my entry into the Netional Mommy Project--The Playdate:

Pour half bottle of Banana Milk to Go into a large glass. Pour reserved liquid into sippy cup.

Add half bottle of Choctatini (chocolate flavoured vodka!) to mom sized glass.

Stir.

Hand child sippy cup

Remind child to play nicely with friends

Sip.

Change Barbie's outfit

Sip

Referee whose turn on the swing

Sip

And so on....

Hey how come you guys get all the yummy stuff? we don't have choc flavoured vodka over here! will search through my cocktails recipes and find a good one from the days when I was a cocktail barmaid!!

That does sound good! Although I'd be afraid to use a sippy cup for mine...it might end badly.

LOL.

No! The Sippy cup is for the kid. To keep her for whinging for sips of yours.

Ahh! I read too speedily. Thanks for clearing that up!

Prize?

The prize is the pride you take in knowing you won, of course!

Or maybe it's in all the taste-testing you had to do first.

No, no, it must be the Fame. Yeah. Fame.

(Should we send the winning recipe to that Silly Woman on the Today Show???)

*rolling over the floor laughing*
I read your post a little to hastily and really thought you were pouring the 'reserved liquor' in the sippy cup...
Now THAT would have been a way to get the Silly Woman on the Today Show going!!!
