..."Don't cry over spilt milk?"
Where does that expression come from?
If it was a delicious pepsi that was spilt,I could weep buckets...but milk? Not so much.
Does anyone really *cry* over spilt milk? (besides the occasional kid)
Wouldn't you be more irritated than sad if it happened?
Well,this morning I got the chance to see what my reaction to spilt milk would be. One of the kids cracked the milk jug last night,so I had to pour it all in a pitcher. Then today,I made the mistake of forgetting to lock the fridge. I had just wandered into the family room when I heard the sound of a pitcher falling to the floor and Camden shouting,"Oh noes!" 
Did I cry?
Nope.
Did I have the immediate thought to weep?
Uh-uh.
Was my first reaction a few choice words?
Maybe.
Sorta.
Probably.
Sigh.
Well,at least I have a clean kitchen floor now.

(but iz ferst!?!?!?)
Oh sad. :(
I think I would've cried.
Could you imagine if you had gotten up at 4:30 to milk all that from Bessie and then it got spilled?
Sorry hon.
I tried to "like" Mrs. Organic's comment. Cause I think that's where the expression came from. :D
Being a huge milk drinker, a super big fan of milk, and being pregnant, I have to say I have actually cried over spilt milk. Although had the circumstances been different (like if I hadn't been a pregnant emotional wreck, and hadn't had an awful day, I prolly wouldn't have cried!)
Loved the post. Especially the "Maybe, sorta, probably" part! Made me smile! Cute little Camdy and his cute "oh noes!"
wow that milk sure did get everywhere! the joys of motherhood :) haha you are trooper!
