Coffee is Life

"What is that?"
"Coffee or life as my mother sometimes calls it."
"Well it sure stinks!"
"Yes and I hear my mother say life stinks sometimes."
"So why does she drink it?"
"Because she says it gives her life."
"Where is her life going?"
"She says work sucks the life from her, aunt Carol sucks the life from her, her kids often suck the life from her and sometimes I hear her say 'life sucks'."
"Wow, I guess it works 'cause she is still alive. So why do you have a cup?"
"I figure if I feel pretty much alive and have all my parts still to myself that maybe coffee will give me superpowers and then I can go around and save all of the adults from having the life sucked out of them."
"What if it tastes gross?"
"We'll come up with something else. Maybe eat more spinach."
