Not easily "conned"

Two Sundays ago, we were at Carrefour PS after the drawing session at Istana. There was this aunty promoting the Welch grape juice which she claimed is a a healthier alternative to Ribena, as there was no sugar and it carried a label with recommendation from the American Heart Association. Samples were offered to us, and we tried to get the daughter to try it. Of course, she refused. Missus suggested (substly...) that we bought it first and tried to find an opportunity for her to drink - bluffing it as Ribena....

So, last Saturday, missus poured it into a drinking bottle, mixed it with water (otherwise too sour) and passed it to the daughter while she was watching TV. Told her that this was Ribena....and so she drank... but half way through, she came back to us and said it was not as sweet as her Ribena prepared by my father ... We being the "dishonest" parents of course refused to admit... but we were quietly laughing cos' she it took for a while to realise it was not her favourite.

Though not entirely successful, we had a small victory cos it was not easy to get her to try new stuff... Have to just keep on trying ...
