My children were introduced to the 'drink of angels' tonight.
We were driving home when I saw something I had not seen in our town since I was a little girl.
A 7-11.
We have probably had one for a while now, but as a general rule, I don't frequent convenience stores with my two kids in tow, so I hadn't noticed that we had a 7-11.
I remembered 7-11 slurpees and had to have one.
We did a U-turn and secured said slurpee.
The kids tasted it and said, "It tastes like angels!"
Then, in a gremlin-esque 'eating after midnight' way, they began to dance circles around Chris and I begging for just one more taste.
The begging escalated to a full scale chase and tackle session around our entire house.
It was one of the scariest things I have ever witnessed. But it was also so much fun and in the end it escalated into a full-out laughing frenzy for the 4 of us.
You heard it here first, Slurpees turn small children into Gremlins.

The arrival of 7-11 was cause for grand celebration in my house. My husband and children (slurpee addicts that they are) looked forward to it for months. If I had known you didn't know, I would have told you. ;-)
Did you know they give away free slurpees on July 11 (7/11) every year?
Haha, well, now I know. Thanks for the warning.
Bright Light! Bright Light! (Do you actually remember the gremlin movie? If not, that was what the Gremlins said when they got too much light. They were nocturnal or light made them sick of something.)
