I'm a Pepper, He's a Pepper...

I likes me some Diet Dr. Pepper. Cindy thinks it borders on obesession. I think she's right. I want to bathe in the stuff.

Anyhoo...a few weeks back we got a killer deal on some Caffeine Free Diet DP and we stocked up. OK I stocked up. Two or three cases, but who's counting. We are now down to our last 18 cans or so. Scary stuff.

I've been consuming most of them with the exception of two or three by Jake and Brady. We don't give them caffeinated/sugary soft-drinks, so all they usually score is a Diet Rite. When I found the CFDDP...I had to let them share in the goodness.

Turns out they like it. Not like I do, which is a good thing. They call it "Regular Dr. Pepper" because they can't have the Diet Cherry Vanilla flavor, which we also stock. Not because I horde the stuff...it's the caffeine content, honestly.

Long story longer, Jake is funny. Tonight we put the boys in bed and I headed off to feed my addiction. I cracked a can open.

*PookCHik*

"Daddy, what was that noise?"

"Sorry buddy. I opened a can of Dr. Pepper."

"Regular?"

"Yeah buddy, Regular."

"OK, goodnight."

"Goodnight Jake."



That's my boy. Just stay away from my last precious cans dude.
