The Pepsi plant story

We built a really great treehouse at the laune's house. They had a great climbing tree, I think I fell out of that tree one or two times too, but that's where we built this gray tree house. And that treehouse we even built a little storage closet about 1 ft by 1 ft. We talked about all the need stuff we could put in there and keep safe. Somehow it came up in the conversation that we could put some soda in there and since the Pepsi plant is just next door to the laune's house We thought maybe we could sneak into one of the trucks at night and that would be our soda stash for our treehouse. So one night probably just after the sun set Bobby and Eric and one other kid, a young kid, I don't know who it was, ran off to steal some soda out of one of the trucks at the Pepsi plant. Me and so many other kids waited nervously at the tree house, maybe it was our job to keep things around the tree house safe though that really wasn't a real job, but there we waited and finally Eric and Bobby and that other kid whoever it was came back with what must have been four or five six packs of soda. It was this flavor of slice that we weren't wild about probably some diet probably some fruity sprite like flavors, but it was exciting. We drink so much of that soda. Then after a day or two, maybe longer, Mom found out about it and she made Eric and maybe the other kids I don't remember go down to the Pepsi plant and tell them that they took the soda. I don't remember their ring consequences that were too serious but it must have been hard for him to go down there. I vaguely remember thinking that I'm glad it wasn't me but had to go down there, but at the time I don't remember thinking about how scary it must have been for Eric to go down there. He was just a little kid must have been pretty darn scary. That was one of our most exciting and probably most risky things we did growing up.
