Grace and Paste and Pepsi

 My mom gave me a tremendous example of grace in action when i was in second grade. i didn't realize what it was until years later, though.

  One night i was using the piano bench as a table, while i watched TV with the family and pasted something or other to something else. Right beside the paste pot was my cup of Pepsi.

  You see where this is going?

 Yep, i accidentally put my paste spreader in the Pepsi.

  i was distraught. Not only was i bothered by just having done that, but i knew that was the end of Pepsi for me that evening.

  It's how i would've handled it anyway, and probably most of you..

  But my mom was very consoling. She instantly got me another cup, and didn't say a word about my goof.

  Grace. Undeserved goodness.
