just now when i was in the car, i stuck my hand out to prevent our lunch from plummeting onto the dirty grey floor mat. inside the plastic bag, something extremely hot stung my hand. we're talking very, very hot here. so hot it felt cold.
startled, i pulled my hand back. there was nothing in the bag that should be hot. warm, yes. but hot? so hot as to feel cold? no.
i pondered the contents of the bag. (1) veggie sandwich on wheat. (1) reuben sandwich on rye. (1) cup, corn chowder soup. (2) chocolate chips cookies (as reward for afternoon boredom).
hot? no. no no no!
when i parked the car, i quickly looked to see what the heated intruder was.
ah ha! i cried.
it was a pepsi. a cold pepsi. a pepsi that was so cold, it felt like a hot thing. a hot thing so hot, it felt cold.
