That is some nasty juice

While on vacation in Oklahoma, at the in-law's house, John asked for some juice. I got into the fridge and gave him what I found. A couple of hours later, Isaac also asked for some juice, so I gave him the same thing I had given John. After one sip Isaac says, "Mom, this doesn't taste very good." I gave him "the look" because John drank it without saying a word. I thought Isaac was being dramatic, it is juice, how can it taste bad. So, I decided my pallet needed to try it, so I took a drink. Oh my, it was horrible. I looked at the bottle and saw the word LITE on it and knew right then it was the after taste of the substitute sugar. I dumped it out and gave Isaac some water. End of story? Of course not...

The next morning, my mother-in-law was consolidating things in the fridge. She grabbed the juice bottle with the thought of putting the rest of the juice in a smaller container. My father-in-law overheard her talking about this and asked, "What juice?". She showed him the bottle and he said, "That isn't juice, it's humming bird food." I guess my eyes told the whole story because the only words I could get out were, "You have got to be kidding me."

I think from now on he will be sure to label his bird food. Especially when the Alexander's come to visit.

Just for the record, humming bird food does not taste good.
