A sweet little boy surprised his grandmother one morning and brought her a cup of coffee in bed. He had made it all by himself and was so proud. He waited eagerly to hear her verdict¹ on the quality of the coffee.

The grandmother had truly never in her life had such a bad cup of coffee. The first few sips³ just about did her in, but she praised her grandson, told him it was wonderful, and drank it all anyway. As she forced down the last sip², she noticed three little green army guys in the bottom of the cup.

She asked, "Honey, why would three of your little army guys be in the bottom of my cup?"

Her grandson replied, "You know, grandma, it's like on TV: 'The best part of waking up... is soldiers in your cup.'"
