Jake has always had very sensitive taste buds. There's no fooling him. Once I put grape-flavored cough syrup in grape juice when he was 4, and after one sip he handed it back to me and said "That have med-cine in it." So I should have known better about the following.
While we were driving home, Jake told me he was thirsty. All I had was the remnants of a Sonic Dr. Pepper, so I offered it to him.
Jake eyed it suspiciously and asked what it was. I fibbed, saying "Diet Coke" (figuring he couldn't taste the difference since it was watered down and mostly ice.)
He took a drink and acted horrified, so I told him to just eat the ice.
He got mad at me at this point, and said "But it's surrounded by Dr. Pepper!"
