The Devil’s Milk
After tossing and turning for a few hours this morning I finally gave up and crawled out of bed to get a cup of coffee.Not wanting to wake anyone else in the house I left my lamp off and padded through the darkness, stubbing my toe on the barstool, running into the kitchen island and tripping over an overly fat cocker spaniel along the way.
I got to the counter, filled my cup and placed it in the microwave then set about getting the sugar and creamer lined up to make it easier on myself in the dark. Once I had the line formed I pulled the top off the milk container and set it gently back on top, so it was open but nothing could fly into it.
Now here I am in the darkness with only the microwave for light, minding my own business as the coffee went on it's two-minute rotation expedition when I hear a pop and see a vague shape fly in front of my face...
Startled, my head automatically snapped in the direction of the flying object where I notice the milk cap isn't where it's supposed to be. Instead of resting on top of the milk jug there's a spatter of milk on the counter with the cap a few inches away.
So I pick up the cap and put it back into place then stand there, bent forward and squinting like a mad-woman in the dark at a milk jug..
After standing there a few seconds I was rewarded (and re-startled) by a pop and.. a flying milk cap!
Now, for those of you who don't know this.. milk isn't carbonated and therefore, in my personal opinion, their caps shouldn't just randomly spring into action and fly through the air..
Don't get me wrong, it was kind of neat watching it happen.. but really, since when do milk caps jump off of the jug??
Needless to say I was a little skeptical of said milk and poked the jug a few times before attempting to pick it up. And I'm not afraid to admit I was officially freaked out and peered into the jug while holding it out at arms length in case it decided to attack me with it's possessed contents.
Shit, I don't want devil's milk flying into my eye and blinding me for the rest of my days! No sir ree, nuh uhs, not gonna happen, not on my watch at least!
You will be glad to know, and proud I'm sure, that I did finish making my coffee. In fact, I thoroughly enjoyed it at the kitchen table with a cigarette as I kicked my feet like a little child..
I'm short... short people kick their feet when sitting.. we just do, so don't ask me why *shrugs*

That would have scared me as well! That is really strange that the cap came off like that. Maybe there was a lot of pressure inside? :/

Hahaha! WEIRD! Maybe the milk cap was distorted or bent? And maybe sitting outside of the fridge caused it to contract even more until it popped off! That’s just a theory. :P

I will agree that milk caps shouldn’t pop and fly! I’d be freaked out too :P I can’t believe it happened more than once!
I’m glad it was ok in the end though
