Last night I got into an argument with my teenage daughter. When I went up to her room later to apologize I was carrying an empty Mountain Dew bottle that I intended to throw away. She took an immediate dislike to this bottle.
"Why do you have that bottle?!"
"Honey, I'm sorry I lost my temper."
"Don't leave that bottle in my room."
"I won't. I just wanted to let you know that I love you."
"Fine. Take the bottle with you when you leave."
"I will, it's just -"
"I don't want you to leave that bottle in here!"
Properly chastened, I withdrew from her chambers, clutching the offending bottle in my hands.
Early this morning when I went to kiss her goodbye before work she was still asleep, so I slipped the empty Mountain Dew bottle underneath her pillow.
She still hasn't returned any of my phone calls... :(
