my sister kathleen and i were on the track and cross country teams together in high school. after track meets, our wonderful coaches would take us to a parking lot with 5 or 6 fast food restaurants in it and let us run wild for about an hour. there was one day that i am particularly proud of, and would like to share with you.
it was a beautiful day. it was clear, warm, and we had all run hard and long. we had done our best, and we were hungry. kathleen and i each had about $5 dollars. soon after the meet, we realized that if we pooled that money together, we would easily be able to get more food. so that is what we did. we stepped off the bus and saw two particularly glorious sites: Taco Bell and Arby's. we first headed to Taco Bell because, well, we like tacos. fun fact: at taco bell, tacos come cheaper by the dozen. did we hit that? yes we did. and had a contest to see who could eat their 6 tacos fastest. i'm sad to say that kathleen won.
but, it didn't stop there. after six tacos a piece, we were hardly sated. so we went to the next beautiful site we had seen. Arby's. we walked in, and the sweet aroma of curly fries hit our noses. so, we bought some. and ate them. then we saw that there was pie. so we bought that. at this point, we were running low on money, but we remembered something we had seen back at Taco Bell, and that was the gumball machine. this was not any ordinary gumball machine. it was partly gumballs, partly dollar bills. we figured, if we could get a dollar bill, or, gasp, a 5er, we could have MORE FOOD.
alas, we were not successful in the dollar bills, but we made our ways back to the bus with 4 gumballs a peice. and were happy.
and then kathleen did this:
