Last year Tyler and I were introduced to an invention that has greatly improved our lives, the Bop-a-top. It is a little devise that is basically a hole punch for drink bottles. We found it at a booth during our visit to a children's expo. We keep one at home and one in the car for our frequent fast food visits. The Bop-a-top punches a hole in the lid of a drink the exact size for a straw to fit into. This eliminates spills even if your kid drops the drink! Huzzah!
We recently ran out of straws in the car. One day while Tyler was driving with Ted they decided to make a stop by McDonalds. Ted was anxious to drink his chocolate milk to which Tyler replied he would have to wait until they arrived at home since the car was out of straws (they have to be smaller size straws to fit into the hole). Ted's response to this was, "Can you show me we are out of straws?"
Now, unbeknownst to Tyler, I had replenished the straw supply in the car. So when he went to open the center console and prove to Ted there were, in fact, no straws he was shown an entire bag of them... we both agree Ted will never believe Tyler ever again.
