AIBU?

LOL!
The adults in Charlie and Lola are ever present, but deliberately never featured (I read an interview with Lauren Child and she said it is a conscious thing so the children only ever read about the children in the stories).
It's not just the pink milk, either. Lola likes 'yummy biscuits, sausagey rolls and sandwiches made from spready cheese'. Quick! Someone call the MN food police!
Unless, of course they are home made, and the spready cheese is, in fact, vintage camembert spread upon organic wholemeal and accompanied by a soupcon of redcurrant jelly.

Ha ha! My SIL delights in giving my children pink milk - only it's that god-awful neon raspberry flavour stuff in a bottle that you mix with milk like squash. Problem is, they think it's the best thing they've ever had.
I did draw the line the other day when she was about to put bloody Splenda on their strawberries. Mmmmm, a lovely cocktail of chemicals instead of unrefined cane sugar. ????
Ruby will become one of those irritating Head Girl types, whilst Max will become a Hell's Angel. And Maggie will need loads of therapy as a result of living in a strange fantasy world in her own head for so long.

no no no, if you watch the dvd, it starts with 'one day dad took us to the park. there was me and charlie, and charlie's friend marv, and my friend lotta. and sizzles. sizzles is marvs' dog. i love sizzles... or words to that effect... but dad definately took them to the park.
re pink milk - my dd is a very fussy eater and she has pink ovaltine max for milk before bed. better than nothing.
i love charlie and lola. not seen ruby and max.
apologies for lack of caps. chocolate biscuit stuck under caps button.
