I drink a soda
I push a cart
I put stuff in a bag
I drink from a fountain
I sit on a couch or sofa
Around the house I wear slippers
On my ice cream there are sprinkles if multicolored and jimmies if black, although I think that might have a racist undertone so I no longer do.
I sit on my porch
I eat a lollipop
I wear tennis shoes
I am not a juvenile delinquent so I don't tp other people's homes.
