Lightsabers and Lollipops

i almost hit a dog today.
not that it would have been a total loss. it was one of those little yippy dogs that has it coming.
the kind you wanna throw out the window just to prove they can't really fly.
but the family that seemed to own the dog was in their driveway watching my near miss.
the mother gave me a look like she was actually disappointed that i stopped in time.
the trauma would have been if the kids who were playing in the driveway would have seen their beloved "fluffy" creamed under the unforgiving tires of my pool truck. i would have been etched into their memories forever.
but the real tragedy from the experience was the sudden stop made me spill my mountain dew.

the dew i just purchased.
the dew i was currently enjoying.
the dew that was providing me energy and spunk and quick reflexes in order to apply my brakes in order to avoid splattering an annoying family pet all over the street.

i was without dew.
...dew-less.

sigh. you never even had a chance to become my urine!
