Mom: “I’m going to make us veggie burgers and asparagus tonight.”
Me: “Yum, sounds great! I’m snackish now, so I’m going to have some of these mixed nuts, but I won’t ruin my dinner.”
Mom: “No worries, this will take awhile anyway.”
–40 minutes later–
Mom: “Dinner’s ready!”
Me: “Oh, boy!”
–some moments later–
Me: “–sooo…the thing is, I kind of filled up on–“
Mom (simultaneously): “You can just have it for lunch tomorrow.”
It’s amazing how you can be 40 and also still 16.
