Bouncing Straws

A tall, frosted drinking cup was standing right in the middle of the outdoor table! I clambered up the woven wicker chair and leaned across the glass top on my tummy. Right out of the lid poked a bright blue bendy straw! I reached up with both hands and gave the ribbed neck a hard tug. Boing! It popped sideways with a funny zipping sound, spraying a couple of chilled, sugary drops right onto my nose! Teehee! When I pushed it down flat, it snapped back upright all on its own. I giggled and tapped the flexible plastic again and again!
