My Memory's Faithful

Last night while Mama was pouring me a cup of Sprite, I noticed the sign on the Sprite bottle that said "100% Natural Flavors". (I've been noticing numbers a lot lately.)

"100 dollars?!" I asked.
"No. See this little symbol here?" Mama answered, pointing to the %. "That means 'percent'. It's 100 percent."
"100 percent! Like Horton at Grandma's house in Salt Lake City!"

The full quote, for those of you who don't know Horton, is: "I meant what I said and I said what I meant. An elephant's faithful 100%."

I loved reading "Horton" with them. Glad we had the chance to spend some time together.
