On Sundays, Jayson and I like to bring coffee to church. Usually he makes it. I teach Sunday school two Sundays a month, but on the other Sundays, it's really the only time I get to just sit and enjoy a cup of coffee. Today we got our coffee at Caribou because for Earth Day they had free coffee if you used a reusable mug.
We also put Charlie in the nursery at church. Today, though, she screamed the whole time because she hadn't gotten a chance to say good-bye to Jayson before he dropped the other two off. So, about ten minutes into the service, the Sunday school director came up to get him. He went downstairs and she was pretty upset, so he brought her up to church with us.
When Jayson makes coffee during the week, Audrey and Charlie are usually eating breakfast and they insist he bring the bag of coffee over to the table so they can smell it. Today in church, Charlie took that one step further. Or, actually several steps. Jayson had taken the lid off his coffee and she kept insisting on smelling the coffee in his cup. She would lean over the cup, inhale completely, and then let out a satisfied exhale. Then yell, "More coffee! More coffee!" and she did it over and over again.
Then she asked for the lid. And licked it. And kept putting it back on the cup to get more coffee on it and then licked it again. She did this through most of church. When Jayson's coffee was gone, she moved on to mine. The opening in the lid was small enough that after I took a sip, it still had a film of coffee covering it, kind of like a bubble wand. She excitedly stuck her finger in it and sucked on it. She tried to get the lid off, but I convinced her it didn't come off. So, she improvised and licked the top of the lid.
Jayson and I have always said that one of the girls needs to be a barista so we can have good coffee all the time. I think Charlie will do just fine.
