Eddie had a ketchup packet we picked up at a burger truck. He decided he wanted to put it on some food. "What can I put it on?" he wondered.
"What do you think?" I asked.
"Hmm. I know! I will put it on sticks!"
"Sticks? Sticks aren't food!" I told him.
"Not sticks. Food sticks!"
"What are food sticks? Fish sticks?"
"No, not fish sticks. Food sticks."
I thought for a minute. "Do you mean French fries?"
"Yes!" said Eddie. "That's right. French fries are food sticks!"
PS: Reading this later, the dialog sounds un-natural, but this is actually the way Eddie was talking then.
Well, of course - the three major food groups! Ketchup, potatoes, and grease!
ReplyDeleteAnd right you are, Eddie! Since they were re-baptized as Liberty Fries, you are free to call them whatever you want.
