Little Doubting Thomas Scene 143

His mother got up, taking the empty bowl with her and went to the refrigerator. She set the dirty bowl aside on top of the microwave cart beside the refrigerator and opened the refrigerator door. While Thomas looked on, she opened the refrigerator to take out a gallon of whole milk and put it beside his dirty breakfast bowl. After rummaging around in the kitchen cabinets for a moment, she found a jar of corn syrup and a small plastic baby bottle decorated with Disney characters and brought it back to the microwave stand. Thomas watched in horrified fascination as she emptied the rest of the open can of condensed milk into the bottle, then filled rest of the bottle with cold whole milk, adding a bit of corn syrup to bottle and screwing the nipple on tightly.
