Today, Suzanne and I spent the afternoon with Summer enjoying
the sunshine on her deck. At one point, I said, "It sure would
be nice if I didn't have to sit up to have a drink of my Mango
Rum Punch."
Summer said, "Hold that thought!" and ran inside
to get some straws. A Mr. Wizard-style experiment ensued. She
built an
arch out of the straws, spanning the distance from my drink
to my mouth. Suspense was in the air as we waited to see if
I would actually be able to create enough suction WHILE UPSIDE
DOWN to enjoy the drink, and I was!
Since this scientific breakthrough was so exciting, we decided
the moment clearly needed photographic documentation. I hadn't
brought my camera with me that afternoon, so it sure was a
good thing that I recently got myself a camera phone!
