So, the scene is set.
I'm at work, back in the car with my co-workers, just finishing the first house of the day. It's lunch time.
Little do I know how, ah, exciting this lunch day will be. I pull out my peach flavored sparkling water, which is delicious and unopened.
I have a feeling you know where this is going.
You're right. I start to open it. Really just crack it open to let this fizz die down. But when I give it one twist--JUST ONE TWIST, MIND YOU--lunchtime becomes a time of chaos, embarrassment, and hilarity. Mmm, delicious, right?
The drink starts fizzing overboard, seriously bubbling all over the place. I mean, EVERYWHERE. For a minute, I just sit there and squeal (Maybe I was too surprised to actually make a sound but I was squealing inside). And then finally the bubbling stops and I have this fountain of sparkling water in my lap. Sticky and gross. EW.
We all laugh. It's pretty silly and unexpected. And there's my excitement for the day: attacked by a store-bought drink.
No worries, all ends well with a pair of dry pants from my car.
Lesson learned? Use caution when opening sparkling drinks.
