There was a period of time in the early 2000s when I wore
black rimmed glasses and people often called me Clark, as in Clark Kent. My black frames and hair, not to mention my chiseled physique, were somehow reminiscent
of Dean Cain who played Clark on some TV show I’ve long since forgotten. Though I can’t
leap buildings in a single bound, or even three bounds, like the Man of Steel I
have finally become another type of superhero: Super MilkMan.
When the great Dudes from Life of Dad asked me to participate
in a contest they were hosting for the National Milk Board, I leapt at the opportunity,
which is about the only thing I can surpass in a single bound. What’s the grand
prize of this contest, you say? Um, just a trip to meet The Rock, yo. You know the badass former pro wrestler who has starred in a ton of shoot 'em up action movies. And as
The Tooth Fairy. He drinks milk, so I
have to believe that if I do as well, I will turn out to be as big and buff as
him. So I rarely skip a day of enjoying milk with my cereal for breakfast, and
the Junior Dudes never miss a chance to snicker at my Milk Mustache.
My biceps are just a tad smaller. Guess I need more milk. |
But seriously, milk is a great source of vitamins, nutrients
and protein. I have to admit, I knew about the first two of those, but was
surprised to learn that just one glass of milk has 8 grams of protein. That was
great news to me, because as the father of a super picky toddler I often struggle
finding ways for him to get his protein. But one thing I never have to convince
him is to drink his daily glass of milk. I have to believe that his regular
consumption, along with inheriting my superhero-esque resemblance, have
contributed to his off-the-charts growth every time he goes to the doctor. I
bet he can smell what The Rock was cookin’, or at least drinkin’: Milk.
Here’s my entry into the #SuperMilkMan contest. If you don’t
already follow me on Instagram, here’s your chance.

ReplyDeleteI didn't know milk had protein in it either and I was also unaware that the Rock made a Got Milk? ad. That's so awesome!
ReplyDeleteI didn't get a chance to watch your video, but I will when I don't have so much to do around the house. Love your wit in your blogs :)
