Fast forward to age two.  There is a photo of my brother and me at a child's table outside.  We have empty soda bottles in front of us.  Now, the REST of the story.  Cokes and the like were treats at our house (along with bolonga and pork and beans!).  SO, the photo was taken on a weekday...no special occasion...so therefore NO real cokes!  My mother got two old soda bottles, complete with mud dobber nests inside (that she knocked loose for the photo), and sat them in front of us.  She said, "Pretend you are drinking a coke".  This is my earliest memory!  I thought, "She's kidding, right?"  However the photo tells the story.  I looked as if I were enjoying a coke while my brother is crying pushing the bottle away.  :)
