Thanks Mama Mig, but there's just no pleasing Geoff when it comes to the English language.
Okay...Lilo's taunting inspired me to ask my parents. My dad says he used to do exactly that as a kid - he'd ask his dad if he could have a coke, and then he'd say a Dr. Pepper is what he wanted. Then when I argued that it's fine to say that, he laughed! But all he drinks are Cokes anyway, so what does he know? My mom says "soda water." So I'm polling Facebook friends to find out the "truth" about Houston.
But whatever someone eats at noon oughta be called lunch.
