Dear Travel Coffee Mug -

I know that you are not leak proof. I don’t ask that you be. Except when I place you upright in my school bag. You should NEVER leak in my school bag. Maybe I had taken you for granted. All of those times that you held that mouth-full of cold day old coffee inside while I schlept you back to my car in my bag. I can’t help that I can’t drink that last gulp of coffee. And you have always contained that last gulp until I got into my house and rinsed you out.

But this time, you spilled. And now 18 students are getting back coffee stained lab reports. Which is ironic, because I usually grade papers while drinking red wine and I am always afraid that I will get red wine on the labs.

Better to appear a caffeine addict than an alcoholic.

In the long run, Mr. Coffee Mug, I will still use you. But you will not get to travel safely in the confines of my school bag.

Sincerely,

Your addicted owner
