Claire looked at the labels on the cans. The nutrition facts and the ingredients list were not making what she was about to do any more promising. More added sugar was in one of these cans than Claire was allowed to have in a week. Guess I'm really doing this. she thought hesitantly. She flashed the cans to Brad and Brittany, who stood there confusedly, waiting for her to throw them away like she did with all the other crap they brought home. She lifted the cans to her mouth and began to drink their contents at a jaw-droppingly fast clip. The cans' contents were emptied in a short 10 seconds. Claire tossed the empty cans in the trash can, and turned back to face her kids.
"I burp hope you understand the lesson you belch kids are supposed to learn." Her lecture was punctuated by frequent burping.
"That you can apparently guzzle drinks like a pro? Where the hell did that come from?" Brad asked, amazed.
"My college days were wild. But stop trying to burp distract me! You kids should know to not bring in that crap agai-!" Her lecture was again cut off by the burping. "See what I mean? There's too much damn caffeine in these things. Promise me you won't bring these things in?" Brittany and Brad nodded.
"Good. Because I'm not ready to drink that much caffeine again. Now get to bed or we'll have some real trouble." Claire ended the conversation, pointing to the direction of the stairs. Brittany and Brad trudged up the stairs. Claire called up after them, "I mean it! I'll drink that crap if you bring it into my home!"
Claire sighed and laid down on the couch. She felt really bloated after drinking those X-whatever-you-call-its, even more than soda or energy drinks normally bloated her. She pushed down on her stomach, and was surprised that it had very little give. It was then that she noticed how it bulged just barely outward, only noticeable if one really paid attention. She shrugged it off as the bloat from the soda, and tried her best to force herself asleep, despite all the caffiene now in her system.
After all, she had something very important to do tomorrow...
