I Will Try the Cobbler Devils Delight

I will try a Bahama Mama’s Llama, I say. She arrives in a crystal goblet. She’s shimmering pink with a touch of gold. Wow! I say after taking a sip. My eyes are blurry after the second one. Now I shall try a Cobbler Devil’s Delight, I say. My dinner companions try to stop me. But I am determined. It is my birthday after all. Danny’s Dare is my third drink. I cannot see anymore. I hand my car keys to my friends. They begin to make excuses as to why they cannot drive me home. I will drive myself, I say. My words do not make sense. One of them says “She can stay with me”. I sing Over the Rainbow in my loudest voice. They rush me from the restaurant, embarrassed. Another successful birthday! I sleep on my friend’s couch.
