A glorious morning surprise

A glorious morning surprise

I bet you had no idea when you decided to pee in your empty water bottle and throw it out the window that it was going to mess with someones glorious morning. Sure ya had to go ... Didn't want to stop, even though there were seventeen places off that exit. And when you decided that driving around with a bottle of your pee next to you was a little too Howard Hughes and pretty gross, you made the choice to throw it out the window so your world was clean, you could of at least made an effort to toss it on the curb. But I get the feeling maybe you didn't have a strong arm or roll model who played catch with you as a child, so we will go easy on that.
 You had no idea that I would be driving along with my boys, all happily singing along to the Avett Brothers only to see it glistening in the sun too late and my brain would go, "Why would someone take the time to put yellow Gatorade in a water bottle?"
And then as my brain caught up with my eyes, came the ugh!
As my boys shouted "What was that?"
Here goes the teachable moment:
Or so I thought ...
"Boys, that explosion you just heard was a water bottle someone filled with urine and threw out their window and it just exploded under my tire."
What started with a comment of, "Why would someone do that?" ended with the car erupting into a stomach holding, gasping for air, can I buy a new lung kind of laughter that only little boys mixed with bodily function can create and ended with, "That was awesome!" and "Mom, it's dripping off the back window!"
Who says we don't have fun in the morning! So here was my lesson for the day ... I needed a car wash anyway and we are still laughing at the physics of how on earth the bottle of pee could of exploded in such a forceful way that you could not recreate it if you tried. There is a challenge for you myth busters! Also we are quite thankful that it was a chilly day ... Usually we have all windows down and sunroof open. That could of been so bad. Picturing dripping eyelashes instead of windshield wipers:/ eek!
So if this was you, do us all a favor and use the garbage, Oh, and pay for someone's car wash today!
Enjoy this glorious day no matter what!
