Strawberry Soda

My old pastor told this story about how women need to believe in themselves, and to take care of themselves. To know that they are special and hold fast to their values, despite men trying to take and take and take from them.

He told a story about how he loves Sprite (tm), but always drinks Diet Coke (tm) in the afternoons, because it's "better for ya". So he put his change in the machine, pushed the D.C. button, and got nothing! He then hit the Sprite button and still nothing! Getting angry, he hit every button on the machine from root-beer to cherry-cola. And guess what popped out? His his favourite soda of all time: Strawberry Soda!!!!

In telling the 2nd story, he tied it to the first by mentioning that his 5 daughters are better than "ordinary" Sprite... they... and all other women... are Strawberry Sodas!

I am not kidding when I say that today, right now, I am wearing a pink t-shirt proclaiming "Strawberry Soda" across the front. He had t-shirts made up that very week.

But I think I won't have that emblazoned across my chestral area on a tee-shirt.
