The Corndog Crisis!
I'm always amazed at how much I learn from my daughters new school. She just started her first year of Pre-K at just age 3. We have been very excited to have reached this new milestone in her lil' life. It's a great school, newly constructed and still learning through trials and errors just what the best ways to run things are.
It took only a couple of weeks to work out a good system for picking up our children, limiting parents from quarreling in front of their own children.
Now what we need to really work on is the definition of a "healthy meal". I think recently that the one "healthy meal" that has me most outraged is the one reserved for breakfast, "the corndog".
My husband had told me that our daughter had been served a corndog for breakfast, which she is not good since she doesn't like corndogs. I wasn't there that morning but I was there two days later and again they serverd it. As I walked up to the cashier I asked her why my daughter was being served a corndog for breakfast?
She replied, "[i]t's not a corndog, its a pancake on a stick."
Okay, I'm thinking to myself, "do I look like I just crossed the border this morning?"
"Did my driver licsense show that I was born yesterday?"
The woman argued with me that the corndog was a "pancake on a stick"!
This "pancake on a stick" was served with Ketchup. I have never used Ketchup as a substitute for syrup on my pancakes, not even sausage! It's just not the right flavor. My continuing arguement,
"IT WAS A FREAKIN' CORNDOG!!!"
Nowhere did I see that the corn mix which wraps the hotdog, not the sausage (as sausage is the breakfast meat aside from bacon and ham), was replaced with pancake mix.
I don't think I will ever get over this "double identitiy" that the corndog has now acquired.
You know as if adding insult to injury, my husband and I went to Sam's Club to get more needed groceries. As passed through the frozen breakfast items, there is was, "pancake and sausage on a stick" right on the box! But again, "IT WAS A FREAKIN' CORNDOG!!!"
Again this is further proof, the universe is pointing out to me, that the world has indeed gone mad.
