The Sippy Cup

As I was out and about the other day, my little guy wanted a drink and I was checking to see if I'd brought his sippy cup when a thought came to mind.  Don't those coffee cups that adults carry around remind you of sippy cups?  They are cups with lids designed to keep the liquid contents from spilling and have a small specific spot to drink out of.  -Very similar to the sippy cup I just handed to my child.  I can just imagine the person who thought of the idea- it probably hit them when they were filling their kids sippy cup up one morning and a light bulb when on.  It had to be designed to look sophisticated, nothing like the plastic cups they give their children or it would never be accepted as something cool enough to carry around.  And so the adult sippy was born.  And now, I will never be able to look at those cups the same way again.

Good point! Now we will be laughing at all the sippy cups adults are using these days!
