Pondering

this morning I wanted pancakes but all we had was chocolate milk. i was bummed but moved on in search of something else to eat. after realizing all i really wanted was pancakes, i stared at the chocolate milk for a bit. then, i decided to go for it. make chocolate milk pancakes!

i mixed all the ingredients, got a little excited inside looking at my light brown batter as i made my stack of five chocolate-y pancakes. i grabbed my syrup, fork and knife and plopped on the couch ready to taste my daring concoction. i lifted my fork to my mouth, syrup dripping off the sides. i took my first bite, taste buds tingling with anticipation. after a few chews, disappointment set in. They tasted just like regular old pancakes!

this is when i began pondering how this could be. only later did my pondering deepen. not minutes after finishing off my chocolate-yet-regular-tasting pancakes did i burp. and you're not going to believe this. are you on the edge of your seat yet?

my burp tasted like chocolate milk.
