Orange Crush the Adventures of Soda Pop Vi

As requested here is another episode. If this is your first time reading, check out the first one it will make more sense. Let me know if you would like me to continue. Those who are following the tale, thanks! When I awoke Ricky was fast asleep, being a pop bottle I have no way of keeping my eyes closed. Mind you I'm not complaining, I got to see the most amazing sunrise. I so wanted Ricky to enjoy it as well so I refracted the light and shone it on his eyes. I could tell he was a bit irritated but it had the desired effect, he got out of bed so he could move me. As he walked over to the window I could feel the irritation turn to wonder as he saw the beauty of the sunrise. From that day forward he became a morning person. Ricky stood there for a while with me held dangling by his side. I no longer needed my glass, I could see clearly through his blue eyes. It was a very nice street and Ricky particularly liked the house across the street. The house had bright white siding and a manicured lawn. There were also planters with all kinds of pretty flowers. The house was owned by an older couple and they didn't have any children. It seemed a rather big house for only two people. Soon Roy and Teresa were also awake and they all fought to use the one and only bathroom. Mom and Dadio had already left for work, Dadio to cut hair and Mom as a waitress at the Coffee Cup. Their baby sitter's name was Mrs. Burns an older lady that seemed very fond of floral print dresses. She had made her way up the stairs because the kids didn't seem to hear her call them for breakfast. They all ran past her to the dining room table and waited for her to slowly make her way back down the stairs. She may not have been fleet of foot but boy what a great breakfast. Bacon eggs and saugage as well as orange juice. Ricky tried to pour the orange juice into me but got almost as much on the table. Still it was quite a treat for me to enjoy, after all breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

I'm not sure why, but this got me thinking of the book and movie "The Polar Express". Maybe because they both have that wonderful childhood innocence and nostalgia about them... You would make a great author of children's books!

I was referring to Charles Dickens, here is a quote from wiki, "His novels, most published in monthly or weekly instalments, pioneered the serial publication of narrative fiction, which became the dominant Victorian mode for novel publication" Quite a humanist in his own right ( like you ) Here is the wiki- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Dickens

My Sweetie is always amazed at how I simply pop awake ready to enjoy the day. I can't remember the last time I slept in.

You as well Maurice, your presence at the soup this past year has been tremendous!

This soda pop bottle, certainly has some adventures! Orange juice mixed with orange crush...hmmm...too bad Ricky had previously cleaned out the bottle; it might have been a whole new taste sensation!
