Well, a few years ago I told my kids if they ever wanted to talk about it, I was here to listen. I also told my college age daughter and high school son to let me know if they had tried it, I’d give them all the information they needed. I told them to stay away from the stuff, it was bad for them and look at me , now I am hooked. Luckily they listened.
Unfortunately for me , neither one of my kids will even be seen getting me a cup at the convenience store. To them coffee is nasty, bitter smelling and they are tired of Mom carrying a coffee mug when she takes the dog out for a walk. Pepper, my Peke is the only one who doesn’t mind the inconvenience of dragging her coffee drinking owner through the Village. As long as I have one hand for her plastic “doggie dirty baggie “she’s off and ready to go, caffeine and all.
Yes, I am the person who arrives at the store, looks at the pots with the tops off and clerks standing around chatting. She who arrives rushed and haggard in the early hours and mumbles under her breath,”what happened to all the regular? They really should hire more people.” I have started drinking all decaf during the day and I have to say that the feeling of being hungry all the time is going away slowly. And the feeling of wanting just one more cup is still there.
Here’s to all the coffee lovers everywhere. Keep those pots perking and your nerves in check and enjoy! Tell me about your favorite cup of coffee.
