Because caffeine, right?
Now, we're lucky, the corner store - not our usual one, the other one - has a thriving stock of Mexican coke. So I went down there and bought some, and when I got back the girls asked why I got the coke in the fancy bottles. So I explained about sugar and corn syrup, and said the only other way to get coke with sugar is to stock up around Passover, which led into a long discussion of Passover, detailing as many of the plagues I could remember, matzoh, the fact that God is kinda a jerkass for "hardening Pharoah's heart" (and the related fact that many people, having never actually read Exodus, don't believe you if you say that happened, but I swear, it's totally in there), the whole shebang.
So, yeah. That was the day's educational moment. We also did other things.
