Default Solution for no Milk?

Just sharing a bit of fun with a wee story on my solution for having
no milk on hand today....
One of my younger Marines came into the office area here that was long
ago designated as Miss Jeanine's Kitchen, to ask if there was
possibility of my having milk to spare for his little bag of Fruit
Loops breakfast cereal.
No, no milk about, but just try this, as I handed him a single-serve
container of Greek yogurt and told him to stir his ceral into it. He
looked at me like I was crazy, but did politely leave my area with
yogurt in hand. I few minutes later he came back in to ask if I had a
spoon to eat with, which we are out of at the moment, but no problem,
I handed him a fork. When his wrinkled brow indicated to me that he
now thought I was perfectly nuts, I just said, "Son, it's yogurt with
sweet crunchies, it ought to fork just fine. And what's left at the
bottom of the cup will taste good straight off your finger!"
Some time later as I walked through his area to pick up prints, the
youngster commented that his "Loopy yogurt" really was good. God
Bless them, how I do love and respect all my Marines!
