"Drowning sorrows with Lemonade"

Once again we find Joanna, this time drowning her pain with lemonade. As her mom was hospitalized..Again. She suddenly found herself with a hole in her stomach. She went downstairs willing to make some herbal tea, you know, old remedies that somehow never fail. However as she was boiling up the water her eyes went straight to the Lemonade standing on the kitchen table, turned and noticed a half full glass of lemonade someone left behind. As the water was about to boil, she drank it up and felt relief. Refilled the glass and kept drinking knowingly that each sip that went by wouldn't do better than the one before. Still, there was something about that Lemonade which made her feel so much better, ignoring the continuously growing belly and a very itchy throat. Down went the entire jar, now resembling a six month pregnant belly she was still unable to stop. The taste of each sip was so sweet... Then... the phone rang! She had to get up. Someone had to pick up. Still in her hand a half full glass of lemonade Joanna refused to leave behind as her quest towards the phone began. She struggled as her legs lifted her away from the chair. The Lemonade paraded as every step of the stairs went by. Joanna reached the phone, just to hear her dad complain away, her breath was short, but so was her last glass of Lemonade. She hung up the phone and drunk it to the last drop. Tried to get up, but the Lemonade had been too much, it found its way back, and so a big pond fell on the floor, and somehow Joanna's stomach didn't hurt no more.
