Nutritious! Delicious! Free! (With a Crass Commercialism Bonus!)

Herr Meow loves the special delivery people.  Every time the doorbell rings and he espies a UPS brown suit (or, alternately, a FedEx purple) he rushes to get the door all the while screaming "Is pehsent fo me!"

Let's just say that some people around here have Christmas fresh in their minds.

But the delivery that arrived the other afternoon was definitely for him.  Thanks to Mom Central, he got one of his favorite treats EVER delivered to him: YOGURT! 

And not just super-sugar-laden yogurt, but Yoplait Kids yogurt-- which has 25% less sugar than others, has DHA for brain development, has essential vitamins and calcium, and might possibly be able to do your taxes for you.

But leave it up to a two-year old to figure out the truly magnificent part of this deal.

Actual first words upon realizing what the parcel contained: "IS DIEGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I honestly don't know how kids absorb all of these different characters even if they have never seen the shows-- I highly suspect it has something to do with Herr Meow asking fifty thousand times a day, "Whoshat?" and paying attention to my I-give-up-seriously replies to his questions. 

Sample reply: (pained eye-roll) "Diego." <sigh>

The tiny little Yoplait packaging and eye-catching colors only made him that much more excited.  And once it was open, I was pleasantly surprised to realize that he attacked the container with vim, vigor, gusto, relish and tenacity-- it was gone almost as quickly as he managed to get the container's leftovers all over the counter, the stool, and his face.  Who needs air freshener when there is mixed berry yogurt in this world, I ask you?

This is the point of the narration at which you commiserate with me because he's two.

__________

Two bottom lines:

1. My kid loved it because he loves yogurt (specifically, good-tasting yogurt) and because that impish hazel-eyed jaguar lover Diego was all over the package,

and

2. If YOU or a certain little person in your life (who may or may not like Diego) would like to get a coupon for a FREE package of Yoplait kids yogurt, please click on THIS LINK to go get it!  I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. 

Thanks again, Mom Central, for the glee and the yogurt!
