Give a Mouse a Cookie

...

And he will ask for milk.

I think about that often. I certainly wouldn't eat a cookie without milk. That's just not right. Some things are meant to be paired together and forever.

Would it be wrong for the individual rodent character to ask for a complimentary beverage? Or would it be rudely over stepping in its request?

Again. Some things are simply meant to be paired together.

You can't give a homeless man a popeyes biscuit with no water; that would be attempted murder. Thus, if you give a mouse a cookie, you must give him milk. What if the cookie is dry and brittle? Or if the milk lacks a delectable sweetness? What if both conditions occur? The answer is simple. If you give the mouse a cookie, expect to give it milk.
