Diet Coke is So Much Fun

I had no idea how much fun diet coke could be until today. Today, when I made an emergency run to the store because I was out and knew I couldn't make it through the day without this crutch. So we went to the store, I pushed the semi=truck of carts, the one with the car attached to the front where the kids could sit and play while I got a serious workout venturing through the store.

I picked up the 12 pack of cans. Normally I go for the bottles, but today it was much cheaper so we got the cans. This was the first of my mistakes. Then, after successfully making it through the self check out, we made it to the car. I loaded in the few items and went to pick up the twelve pack by the punched in handle only to have it rip and go crashing to the parking lot. I think I managed through it with nothing more than a "oh crap" , but I'm sure my kids will let me know if more was said as time goes on. It appeared that although the box was ripped, the cans were still in tact so I reloaded and headed for home.

Upon getting home I pulled out the box, only to find that it was soaked and more than a few cans were fizzing...ready to blow. After one dropped right below our new car, I kicked it out to the driveway sending diet coke and fizz everywhere. The kids were delighted. And then a second one had the same fate, and it too went as far away from the car as possible. While I went running inside to try to get cleaning supplies for the beverage that had spilled all over our, did I mention, brand new car, the kids were kicking the cans all over the driveway. Screaming with great joy as they randomly got sprayed. It was the greatest game ever. Kellie even wanted a few more. "Can we have a couple more cans??"" I hate to think the fate of the surviving cans in the fridge.
