waffles

i guess i'm into remembering things lately. little stories from when i was young. maybe i'm starting to have a crisis since i'm turning 30 this year. maybe these things that i remember just amuse me.

anyway, the first time i had waffles was at grandma and grandpa's house. in the big old house on grand avenue where my mom grew up. i may have had waffles before this but i don't remember it. maybe it was a special day because waffles aren't a usual thing, i can't even remember if they were frozen or made fresh. but i was old enough to have my own plate and cut my own and put on my own syrup. grandmas and grandpas let you do that kind of stuff, even if you put waaaaayyy too much syrup on.

i must have been struggling with cutting or something because grandpa looked and me and said, "you have to cut on the streets, not the houses...."

and there you have it. how to eat waffles in 10 words.
