Coffee

Coffee. 'D' drinks it every morning, and every evening after work. I watch him pour that black liquid into a mug, add a spoonful of white granular stuff, and some milk. He really enjoys drinking it. I can see the pleasure on his face after each sip. It does appear to improve his moods. When he left the room one day, I decided to see what all the fuss way about. So I slinked over to his coffee mug, and lap at it. YUCK! That stuff is horrible! It taste like dirt. And believe you me I have tasted dirt before! How can this stuff improve someone's mood? I eat food off of the floor sometimes, and that taste a heck of a lot better than this 'coffee'.

Actually, I caughed after I tasted it. Maybe that's why they call it coffee.

Well, I really shouldn't complain or moan about what he drinks. I don't think he would like to eat my 9 Lives cat food. It's probably taste like dirt to him too.

I understand that coffee comes from a bean. Isn't a bean a vegetable? So is 'D' drinking a vegetable drink each day? Does it have vitamins? Oh, it's so confusing.

It's like a tomato. A tomato isn't a vegetable, it's a fruit.
And a coffee bean isn't a vegetable, it's a ............ heck I don't know what it is.
It grows in the dirt. Maybe that's why it tastes like dirt?

Now, you may ask yourself, where is this leading too?

Well, like most things in the humans world - it leads to absolutely nothing.

I'm just having a kitty thought about coffee.
