GIVING IN TO TEMPTATION

I stared longingly at the succulent fruit cup, the only thing that remained in the lunch my wife had packed for me. Opening one of these plastic containers on a flat surface without sloshing the syrupy juices around could be a challenge. Imagine how difficult it would be to open one while driving a semi and hitting a rough patch in the road. Even with that struggle - I figured I'd give it a try. I held the cup in my driving hand, careful not to squeeze it too hard. But, because they put so much liquid in the container, I just know that, inevitably...most of it will end up in my lap. Slowly, I peel back the plastic cover without spilling a drop. It was that moment when I realized it was a fruit cup of Jello.
