okay so i never used to drink coffee at all until a couple of years back... i never used to like hot drinks... then i started getting hot chocolate... then i slowly moved onto the harder stuff... mochaccino... i know thats not exactly hard... not like drinking methylated spirits or that, but whatever... thats not really my point... one of my favorite places to get my mochaccino is my local petrol station... they are really friendly and untrendy and you are pretty much always gauranteed a good brew...
but the other day, man, i really needed that mochaccino... like you know when you are almost aching cause you need that caffeine and chocolate mix so bad... like that mochaccino is going to cure cancer... i ordered it and went and put some petrol in my car... when i came back to pay, there it was... my super large mochaccino, waiting for me... it felt quite hot through the cardboard cup so i didn't taste it... i thought i would wait and savor the taste once i got back on the road to the playground with wilco and bebe... i pulled out into the morning traffic and headed on down the road... i reached down to pick up the coffee from the cup holder... almost drooling at the thought of how fucking great it was going to be... then it touched my lips... flat white... flat motherfucking boring as fuck white... with no motherfucking sugar...
i almost lost it... like i had really needed there to have been a mochaccino in that takeaway cup... and it wasn't... it nearly tipped me over... over the edge... but with my babies in the car wanting to hit the swings, and in a line of traffic, and about 10 to 15 minutes away from the gas station now, i knew it was over... i could not go back... i had to live with the disappointment... i had to get on with life...
"don't be sad about your drink, dad" said bebe... how can you be sad when you hear those words coming out of your beloved daughter... we went to the park and had a good time... and mr whippy was there... life was okay...
but, yeah, if you buy a coffee at a petrol station, just check before you drive off into the world... check that you get what you deserved...
