I need caffeine...carbonated drinks...chocolate!!!

Okay, I've never really even liked root beer before...however, today it's making me drool! Our church is on a week long fast and the first two days you give up caffeine and carbonated drinks. The third day you add sweets to the list of things you give up, by Friday, you are on a complete fast. Surely my son knows this...so why is he slurping so hard on his glass of root beer??? I tell you, I'm about to grab it from him and drink up...a Toy Story sippy cup and straw don't bother me at all! I need a Dr. Pepper, but hey, I'll settle for anything at this point.
