“Drink Your Coffee…”

drink your coffee

I’m not attached to many objects; I’ve moved too much and had to leave behind too many things to want to invest emotionally in anything other than people. But there a few items do have particular sentimental value.

The cup above has a history: my friend Sue inherited it after the unexpected death of her father, and Sue passed it on to me. All three of us had attended Woodstock School, so could all especially appreciate the triple pun.

triple pun? Lucy, you got some ‘splainin’ to do. Cuz I don’t get it. I mean, the mug is funny, but punny?

Maybe pun isn’t the right term. But it’s some kind of play on words/memes. Tradition has it that we were all raised with our parents saying: “Eat your broccoli, there are people in India starving.”
