On the drive to work this morning, I struggled with a drink and ended up splashing some of it on my lap, staining my skirt. Drat! I mulled over the event, and it occurred to me that what’s amusing about this, is what the drink is.
Some might think, “A drink. That means alcohol.” I don’t drink and drive!
“She’s an American, driving to work in the morning. Her drink is Starbucks coffee.” Nope, not coffee!
“She’s Chinese. Maybe it’s a box of Vitasoy or other soy milk.” Nope.
“Tea?” In the morning? Ew.
“Water.” Well, then, it wouldn’t stain.
“Soda?” Quit that years ago, haven’t caved yet.
“Duh. It’s obviously fruit juice, like OJ or something.” That would mean I’d have to go grocery shopping to have fresh juice.
Nope, what I spilled, struggling with the pull-tab opening while driving this morning, was a boxed drink of Premiere Protein shake. In chocolate. Cuz I’m feminine like that.
you would have earned yourself a thousand wilco points if that drink had been a pearl tea drink. oh well, too bad for you.
No SoCo Lime early in the morning?
Wilco – see, THIS is the kind of information you should’ve given me earlier notice of! Altho, I don’t think pearl tea places open early in the mornings.
Flat Coke – I don’t know what that is. Southern Comfort with lime? Like, straight up? Is that tasty? Sounds kinda harsh.
i just went to a pearl tea place that opens at 7am. i ordered a pearl tea drink and the girl behind the counter informed me that they don’t have any pearls.
That’s like when I went to a Starbucks at 7:45a (they open at like 7a), and they informed me they were out of soy. Apparently these stores don’t open up fully stocked and their supplies somehow grow throughout the course of the day.
I am starting to make fresh juices in the morning, so good thing it wasn’t that cuz the fresh jusices can stain like no other!!!
I hear carrot stains are pretty wicked. And berry stains, too.
