[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A two liter bottle is probably cheaper than what they pay for the soda at a restaurant. Not to mention more sanitary and better carbonation. Gross. [/quote]

This, a two liter bottle costs like $2 at Target. If you are frugal, I'm sure you can buy them in bulk and get the unit price down to close to $1. There is no way they are getting even a small soda for less than $1 at these places, plus the time and energy required to do this is pretty high, in addition to the risk of someone at the restaurant seeing them and making them leave or even banning them from the restaurant.

On the other hand, my mom has started acting pretty weird in her 70s, specifically lying randomly about things and developing a strange sense of humor. She is acting kind of like a rebellious teenager. She had a lot of childhood trauma so I assume it is related to that. I largely just ignore it and when she does things that could be embarrassing, I just detach and remind myself that she is her own person and I'm not responsible for her behavior.[/quote]
