drinkability

his

circa 2004

via dollar store set of 6

i rolled my eyes at the purchase

but he has since proven my shortsighted view incorrect

as his manliness needs...nay requires...such a mug of generous proportion.

it is these man-show approved sippers that welcome my hard working hubby home each night for the past few years.

filling one is the second thing he does upon his homecoming.

they are rugged.

i invite you to try and break one.

it's quite impossible.

they are surprisingly heavy and can catch an arm off guard with their stone like stature.

each can hold an insurmountable portion of contents

and i must admit that everything tastes better when sipped from such a mighty rim.

hers

circa 2008

via $3 for 19 piece set at target on the open box rack.

original price $68.

everything perfectly new despite one un-perfectly chipped plate.

i felt as though i was burglarizing with such a bargain purchase.

i sip from within it my daily lava-like liquids

it can withstand the fire-riest circumstances

yet can fall instantly victim to splintering if mishandled.

i often clutch it's smooth side arm, breesing my fingertips over the delicate leaf embossing.

treasuring the day ahead or behind

it sips alongside my day
