Favorite Passage

“Biltmore is too froufrou,” Mom said.

I thought that about the Grove. But Motel 6 makes me feel underdressed. I finished my breakfast and Norm snatched the plate, I guess afraid I might steal the flatware or something, and I pushed back to catch my breath. Maybe I inhaled my food. Mom has commented in the past I’d make a good pig.

Roger and I sometimes act as though we’re in a race, I think. In my case, I don’t think my brain functions all that well when my jaw is working, so I like to get the eating out of the way so what the crew has to say, makes sense.

I can’t speak for Roger’s dining pace. Maybe he’s just more in touch with his appetite than the average bear.
