How I Know I’m Old

As a kid, I had a really tough time with Caprisun drinks. Anytime I tried to put the straw in, I’d puncture it in too many places and make a mess. This was probably because I only had Caprisuns at soccer games. My mom didn’t buy them, thus denying me the opportunity to learn how to use them.

Even in my adult years, the rare time a Caprisun fell into my hands, I’d automatically pass it off to my wife to let her put the straw in. I know… pathetic, right? Well, today I tried it myself. And I did it! ALL BY MYSELF!

I’m a big boy now!

(I am a bit shocked the still make Caprisuns, by the way.)

Great job, young man! We are very proud of you.

What is this then?
