The Water Bottle Olympics
It’s warm-up time, and Coach T is barking orders:
“Hydration is not optional!”
While Zara quietly sips from her water bottle, Aari rolls in with confidence, announcing she drank “so much fruit punch yesterday.”
Spoiler: fruit ≠ water, and Aari’s gut crew is about to find that out the hard way.
