Parental logic


When we were kids, my mom never kept carbonated beverages in the house. Our choice was lemonade, KoolAid, iced tea or water. Dinner at a restaurant or a trip to the movies was a double treat because we could order Coca-Cola!
Once, while grocery shopping with Mom, I asked her to purchase Cokes for us kids. No.
"But whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"? I pleaded.
"Ya'll just drink 'em."
It stopped my whining but I didn't understand the response.

I reminded Mom of it the other day and she laughed. "I said that?"
Yes.
"Well, I guess it made sense at the time."

I guess Coca-Cola is meant to be savored being its so refined and all.

At my house we never had any of that fake shit...it was the Real Thing or nothing at all.
