0718 avoiding a difficult explanation

After pizza, we made a quick stop at Paleteria La Mexicana, for something cool. It’s a small store with three freezer cases that have glass doors on the top that slide. They had two different types: an “Otter-Pop” tube and a “Popsicle” bar with a wooden stick in one end. Both were wrapped in plastic.

I went with the tube and chose coconut. My friend, Ching, got a tube also (I think hers was watermelon) and asked the guy on the other side of the cases about how to open them. He said to just bite it and it would open up without any problem. We paid and left with our goodies.

In the car, we wiped our tubes with antibacterial wipes. Mine was starting to soften, so I picked an end and bit into it. What do you know? He was right! The end just opened up easily. Unfortunately, it was the opposite end and the “stuff” spilled into my lap.

It was a little disturbing because it was a thick milky-white liquid.
