Last night, in an attempt to cheer up the kid, we went for sushi and to the movies. Movie night is a fairly regular outing for us and our typical evening includes pre-move decision making, ordering the "1 large popcorn 2 medium drinks to share", and post movie criticism. Well the monstrous container of sugar poison we received was as not consumed by my son. He brought it home. Why do we need to bring unused cola home? My boys do not even eat leftovers. He left this on my grandmother's antique drum table adorning our greeting room. Not even 1/12 empty.
This morning I came down the stairs in the dark, bumped into the table and knocked it over, soda pouring over table, oriental rug and the yesterday's. I could not believe the range affected by this spraying. It was like the spill was crop dusting my entire room in slow motion. Good morning to me.
I realize that I am one of the idiots who purchases the 1 million gallon of soda to watch the 2 hour movie so I shouldn't complain. But I am. Never have I been so thirsty that I needed this much liquid; not even if it was vodka. Plus, don't you have to use the bathroom if you are drinking so much?
I want everything to be smaller (well maybe not EVERYTHING). Everything available as food or drink. Here is how we can lessen our health care costs... reduce portions at all restaurants. Just starting with fast food would probably reduce obesity by 25%! Maybe we all need to experience a little temporary hunger and refrain form gluttony for just a night.
