Crazy Man

A few years ago I stopped buying soda. Jeremy was drinking so much he was getting cavities and then the kids started to pick up the habit. Then he got his first kidney stone and caffeine makes your body flush out calcium and will even rob it from your bones. This gave me a great excuse to stop buying it. Now he only gets it at restaurants or at other peoples houses. Well so I thought!! Today Jeremy went to check the mail and comes running in the house, "I won, I won!" He has been buying Pepsi at work. In the caps that most people don't even pay attention to is a code and he enters them online. Today in the mail he had a Zune MP3 player waiting for him. Now I just got one for my birthday and I know they cost a bit of money. He got one for free didn't even have to pay shipping and handling.
He was telling me that yesterday while he was entering the code on-line he quickly added in his head how much money he probably spent on the soda and it was about amount of money if he would have spent if he had just went out and bought one. No doubt! Not to mention the ER bill in a few months to a year when the next kidney stone tries to pass. In all honesty I know he didn't drink ALL the soda. Everyone at work gave him there caps because they don't believe you really win. Well I also thought that but he has not only won this Zune apparently he also has won $20. If he wants to drink soda fine it's his body and I am not his mother but I wont buy it for the house because I am my kids mother.
