Joy

Sometimes a newly trained employee at McDonald's is your worst enemy. But sometimes, she is your best friend. Today I waited a long time for my soft serve cone.


It turns out some things are worth waiting for.


This is probably the largest soft serve I have ever had. (The quarter is there for comparison.) It cost $1.30 which I consider a bargain given the size. I sat down to eat this monster, and after ten minutes of licking, had whittled it down to the size of a normal soft serve cone. At first, I assumed I wouldn't be able to finish it, but somewhere in the middle of those swirls, I found joy, simple pure joy.


But like any joy, it was fleeting - and soon replaced with a brain freeze and dehydration. But I still have the picture - and the memories.
