After getting my 'chocolate chip cream'(ice coffee) from the counter , I took a seat with my father at a table in Starbucks. I couldn't help but admire the beautiful and delicious liquid in a plastic cup that was in my hands. The ice coffee had a delicious topping - whipped cream! You could probably imagine my delight. I didn't want to suck the whipped cream through the straw instead i wanted to use my straw as 'the weapon to devour the unsuspecting whipped cream! . So basically I wanted to use my straw as a spoon and eat the whipped cream , yet I had to remind myself that I was in a classy coffee shop where proper etiquette should be my guide. I glanced at the whipped cream which tempted me even more. I am only 13 years old would people really expect me to exhibit lady - like manners. I thought ahead into the future for a little while , coming on a coffee break to Starbucks ,my 24 year old self buys an ice coffee and tries the 'straw for spoon' stunt. At that age it would definitely be awkward and people would surely expect me to follow lady - like manners. So after deliberating in my head I came to a verdict. I took the lid off , my 'weapon to devour' ready in my hand I then scooped a bit of the whipped cream and felt it melt in my mouth. The feeling of satisfaction I had , I didn't get the outcome I feared. I am pretty sure my 24 year old self would be proud of what I did cause if not now, when?
