Kiki’s Big Adventure: Day 10 Field Report
Today’s theme was boredom … and the stunning lack of anecdotes. That’s what I thought, anyway. But, obviously, we can’t always be the object of anecdotes, the detached witness, the bemused blogger. Sometimes we’re the subject, er, the protagonist, so to speak.
This revelation came to me during dinner.
Just as I sat down with a plate from the salad bar, my mom texted me to let me know that eggs were being recalled on the West Coast. She knows I like eggs. As it happened, that plate from the salad bar … replete with hard boiled eggs.
Ah, crap.
I texted my mom back to ask if she thought picking them out would be enough. The last thing I wanted was to throw out an almost entirely good plate of salad. While I waited for her reply, I sifted through (the cottage cheese on) my salad looking for every little speck of egg, piling them all on a plate off to the side.
Not even a minute later, I got a text from my mom:
u can eat them. not in cali.
Naturally, I grabbed the plate and piled the eggs back on the salad.
Now, tell me, if you were a fellow patron, would you not find this odd? Would you not recount this as an example of the freaks you encountered on your cross-country road trip? I know I would.
And it’s been like this for the last ten days. The few anecdotes this trip has yielded thus far, feature either me or little black dog being a weirdo somehow. I’m not sure why this surprises me, but it does.
