Farm Animals

I took Salem out to lunch yesterday, I had her choose the spot. Oddly, she strayed from her norm, which is McDonald's. She requested to go to Wendy's. I was surprised.

It'd been quite a while since I stepped foot in a Wendy's. I had no idea they offered kid's meals, which, btw, they do. She ordered the chicken nugget meal, I got a chicken sammie and we sat down to eat.

As she was nibbling on her lunch, she twisted her face into a scowl.
"What's wrong?" I asked. She looked up at me and said,
"These nuggets are not good. They taste like farm animals!"
me: "Well, actually they ARE farm animals."
her: "I don't like the taste of farm animals then. May I have a bite of your sandwich?"
me: "Sure, but it's a farm animal too..."

She took the sandwich and proceeded to go to town on the thing. She stopped short when she realized that the bread was sticking to her front teeth. She tossed the mangled sandwich down.

her: "This bread is terrible. It sticks to my teeth!"
me: "Sorry kid, looks like this lunch is a bust! Here, have you ever tried this?.." This is where I proceeded to demonstrate dipping a french fry in a Frosty. Admittedly, it's gross but it's tasty.
her: "Ew! That can't be good?!" She tried it, looked up and said "Yeah! It is good."

Later, as we left the restaurant she turned to me and proceeded with her review. "I don't think I like fries in the frosty. The more you eat, the more they start tasting like those nuggets, those farm-animal nuggets. Gross. I think I'll pick McDonald's next time instead of this place. The nuggets were not good, the bun sticks to my teeth, and you try to get me to eat weird things like those french fries in the Frosty."

At least the kid knows what she likes.
