"I know what I'm going to have!" exclaimed Freddie.
"So do I!" cried Flossie.
"Chocolate soda!"
"Yes! And I want plenty of cream on top!"
"Suppose they haven't got any chocolate soda?" remarked Mr. Bobbsey, with a twinkle in his eye.
"Oh, I know they've got chocolate soda," remonstrated his little son. "They always have chocolate soda at soda fountains! Don't they, Flossie?"
"Of course they do! I don't think it would be a real soda fountain if they didn't have chocolate soda," replied the little girl.
"I think I'm going to have an orange phosphate," said Bert.
"And that is just what I am going to have too," added Nan.
"Phosphate!" cried Freddie in wonder. "I wouldn't drink any phosphate! That's what they make matches of."
"Oh, just hear that!" cried Bert, laughing. "Freddie thinks they make matches of phosphate."
