Yesterday I was heading home after visiting  a couple who were making final plans on their upcoming wedding when I saw a little girl and her brother were selling Kool-Aid in their drive way.  Mom was doing some yard work behind them and when I stopped and asked them what they were selling they both yelled out:

“GRAPE  KOOL-AID”

“G R A P E     K  O  O  L  –  A  I  D, ” I yelled back.  “That’s my favorite.  How much do I owe you for my most favorite drink ever?”

They both yelled back, “A Quarter!”

“A Quarter?  Oh my, since it’s my most favorite drink ever would it be okay if I paid you both a dollar?”

“YES!  YES!  Mom, he’s going to pay us both a dollar for his most favorite drink!”

Mom was behind them, mouthing the words,

“T H A N K    Y O U”

I drank the small Dixie cup of watered down Grape Kool-Aid in front of them and let out a huge sigh as I wiped my mouth and told them:

“THE   BEST  EVER!   THANK YOU!”
