Meatball Subs (May 20)
Megan is out of town all week which means I can deviate from the usually healthy meals I make that consist of salmon and chicken and instead return to my native roots of eating trash food like Wendys, questionable Mexican restaurants, and meatball subs from Subway (there’s no other reason to go there).
When the girls and I are on our own, we take full advantage to explore trashy fast food restaurants. It’s Americana, like learning the Pledge of Allegiance. Knowing how to navigate the McDonalds touch screen menu faster than you can a Switch controller is basically a requirement to pass 3rd grade. So I’m just doing my part here.
This morning when the girls and I were talking about it, Lily said “Oh, i love meatball subs”.
“Oh yeah, since when? I’m pretty sure you’ve never had a meatball sub in your life”
“Dad, I definitely have. I have a note in my desk that says ‘I had meatball subs. They were delicious.’ I’m pretty sure I wrote it in 1st grade because I misspelled ‘delicious’”.
“Ha! Right, like you really have this note in your desk”. Am I so wrong to doubt the veracity of a note written by a then 6 year old claiming that meatball subs are delicious? Is she a 25 year old construction worker from Jersey now (I believe this is the group of people who most love meatball subs).
Naturally she reappears 2 minutes later…
Damn, she really did write this note when she was in 1st grade.
