"My reading teacher called my dad," sighed that student who often hangs out in the afternoon.
"I heard," I told her. "I also heard you were cradling your new Hydro Flask like a baby, and singing to it during class."
"Well..." she said and then laughed. "I just love it!" Her expression turned stormy. "But now my dad took it away for a month."
I thought of her today when I used my annual coupon at the outdoor coop store to buy my own, limited edition, Keiki Rainbow Hydro Flask. After I carefully affixed the first sticker to it, I held it up to admire the pleasing blush of the sunset colors on my new water bottle...
...and then resisted the impulse to give it a little hug.
