The Shape of Giant Adult Sippy Cups To Come

I visited a friend of mine in a distant state for about a week.

Because I was going for two events kind of far apart I was staying longer than was perhaps wise considering this is a person I’ve never spent more than 24 hours with. 

It was a risk, but I also kind of figured we’d get along.

I arrived late at night and was shown to a mattress in her study, neatly made up. I like arrangements like this, they are cozy. As I went to sleep I felt Christmasy with anticipation.

In the morning we drank coffee and did our work. Then we were going to do some errands, I needed to fill a prescription, I needed to get tights. I don’t even remember what we did. Lunch? Who knows. It was last week.

Prior to heading out, she filled a large Starbucks tumbler with ice and water. She screwed on the lid and inserted a reusable straw. When we got in the car she set it in the drinks console and proceeded to drive. Every once in a while she would drink from the cup, out of the straw. 

We returned. At one point she went upstairs to take a shower and I decided to get myself a drink of water as I had not been swanning around all day with a giant Starbucks cup and a straw. I opened a cabinet in her kitchen and came face to face with not one but two shelves of Starbucks cups, some polka dot, some flowered, all 24-ounce, all paired with a thick, hearty reusable straw. 

I felt that I had opened a portal to another world.
