The Favorite Childhood Drink

"You gave Lissette coffee when she was THAT young?!" Ladies and gentleman, my parents along with every other Cuban parent out there has done this. It's what they do..."it's what we do" as my mom says. Here in the United States, parents give their children cereal and milk for breakfast or even apple juice with some eggs and ham. That sounds just about right. Well, we don't really think that way. We love a drink called, "Cafe con Leche" or Coffee with milk. Every morning when I was a little girl, my dad would wake me up and place my Cafe con Leche on my dresser. I would drink it before I started school. This is how we are raised. Maybe that's why some of us are so short...Oh well! Many of my friends find this extremely weird and still cannot grasp the concept. Coffee at such a young age?! Yes. That's how they do it in a Cuban household!
