Blogworthy... "pop" or "soda"

Kourtney: Mommy, what do you call Sprite?
Me: Pop
Kourtney: Why?
Me: Because I am from Ohio
Kourtney: Where am I from again?
Me: Miami
Kourtney: Oh. And what do "Miami girls" call Sprite?
Me: Soda... but you can call it pop because I am from Ohio and you are my daughter
Kourtney: Well, I better call it soda instead.

Great. I lost that battle. I am outnumbered. Check out this website that breaks it down in our great country

Actually Kelly back in the day...it was called soda-pop. I am guessing 1950-60's.

Good luck with that Jenny... Travis is the one here who calls it soda. Both parents have to be on board or your children will end up confused like mine are!

Diet coke for me is fine. Or any other kind of soda.
