Bottled Water

I have a dirty, little secret.
I hide bottled water in my car trunk.
Bottled water is not allowed at home.
Why?
Bottled water is wrong.
Bottled water causes drought.
Bottled water comes in cancer-causing plastic.
Consumers pay too much for bottled water.
I know this, but I hide bottled water in my car trunk.
Friday night, I was busted.
It was the typed of "busted" that you see in Busted magazine.
I didn't have an excuse. I could not defend myself.
I pleaded guilty.
As part of the trial, the bottled water was tested.
The bottled water scored 62 on the pollution scale.
Zero is the best.
The kitchen tap water scored 30.
Why is the kitchen tap water cleaner than the bottled water?
I still have bottled water in my car trunk.
I am ashamed.

(I purchased the dirty, bottled water at Wal-Mart. It is bottled by Nestle.)
