I remember sitting with my younger cousin Dan on my aunt’s erector looking porch, during a scorching late July day. We both were waiting for our favorite cup filled with Kool-Aid that my bubbly aunt was going to bring out.
Our wait was rewarded and the shinny cups my aunt brought out were sweating, and when I grabbed hold of the metal cup, it felt like it was filled with a winter’s day. I felt refreshed without taking a sip. It was like magic, and taking a swig from the cup took longer than it should. Oh it felt so good! It quenched my thirst in so many ways; from my eyes to my hands and finally to the taste buds in my mouth.
I never realized that this cup would be my fountain of youth. This frosty, gelid cup would hold the memories from my childhood day and still refresh my thirst to this day.
