The Great Potato Chip Incident
Back in the day when my kids were very young, maybe 9 to 12, I had a penchant for BBQ Potato chips. I don't know why I just did. These days I don't think I've had any in several years.
We use to go to parks and playgrounds on weekends after I would pick them up from their mom's place. I had been devouring those things for a week as a quick lunch or between jobs, I worked two at the time. So I grab the kids and we're heading out to somewhere. Then I spotted it, a full BBQ potato chip between the seat and the consul. Looked completely untouched. I cry BONUS! Grab the tempting morsel and throw it in my mouth. My Gawd!! It was like chewing on old moldy plywood. Soft, no crunch, and yet a nylon type texture. Spitooooooouie, out the window. My kids laughed until they cried.
You know the rascals still bring that up some 20 years later.
