Three year old kid versus cherry slurpee...

Tweet

"Every once in a while The Universe decides that I need a laugh or two!" It was really hot and humid and I needed a cold drink so went into a convenience store to grab one of those big and icy softdrinks they call a slurpee... It seems that I wasn't the only one with this great idea because there were about three people in front of me, waiting to get to the drink machine. The cause for the wait ( they had air conditioning, thank you) was a young father and his little boy, who appeared to be about three years old. The kid was tugging at his father's clothing while he was slowly pumping out the soft drink, a super large cherry slurpee... The kid kept insisting that he wanted to hold the drink and was demanding that his dad hand it to him. "Ok!" I heard the man say to his child, "But you better be careful!" as he handed the kid the huge soft drink... Now, forgive me if I'm wrong (I'm not a parent) but it seems to me that if you hand a kid anything that looks like a cup, he or she will instinctively try to drink from it, am I right? Well, this kid did just that! The moment his dad gave that giant drink, the kid turned it up to his mouth and the lid on the drink came flying off! This resulted in a three year old being covered from head to toe in cherry slurpee! I kind of silently laughed as I went over to the counter to get some napkins to help the dad clean up the mess... But I totally lost it when the dad angrily said to the kid, " See?", "I toldja so!" The bout of laughter lasted the rest of the day and made my cola slurpee taste that much sweeter! :) Any funny kid stories out there?
