A Big Bang

A enormous bang sounded somewhere to my left. I wondered if Sue had fallen down or dropped something very heavy. 

When I looked in that direction, I saw that the door of my adjacent pop fridge was ajar.

I soon discovered that the pop can in the freezer had exploded. Indeed, it was ripped asunder with its frozen contents plastered around the interior of the fridge  

That's the sort of thing that can happen when you leave pop in the freezer for 10 hours.

I am sure that inquiring minds would like to know why I had pop in the freezer.

Well, I am going to tell you, even if your mind isn't of an inquiring bent.

Late morning, I saw that I had no pop in the fridge. I put cans on the shelf as one does but also decided that I should cool off a few cans faster in the freezer because I greatly prefer my Diet Coke very cold. In point of fact, if it were to have little ice crystals, that would be hunky dory.

Knowing that I have a mind like a sieve, I asked Alexa to remind me to remove the cans in 90 minutes. I subsequently impressed myself greatly when I remembered to take the pop out about 30 seconds before Alexa's reminder. I thought, what a clever boy am I.

I drank and enjoyed my nice, cold Diet Coke.

Unfortunately, I totally forgot that I had actually placed 2 cans in yon freezer and only taken 1 out.

I am not so clever after all.
