Mom's straw

Last night, when mom and dad went to the store, they picked up a Coke at Target (a little treat, since they usually don't drink soft drinks) and when they came home, mom set the cup on the counter to unload groceries. Huggy Bear, in his newfound exploration of all things counter, decided to chew on the straw. Mom saw what he had done and laughed, but then a few minutes later, she absentmindedly drank from the chewed on straw. "Huggy Bear!" she said, and laughed as she trimmed the chewed straw bit off.
