there are two things you should know about my family:
1. we are creatures of habit. if we like
something, we love it and we will love it until we can’t love it
anymore. it’s kind of a ‘why fix what’s not broken?’ type of attitude–if
something is working for you, why change it? right? for example, my dad
eats wheaties for breakfast every. single. morning and every christmas
we eat the exact same meal every year down to the pineapple punch.
2. we are crazy, stupid lingerers (well,
the girls are). give us a target and a free refill and we will aimlessly
wander for eternities. we linger in cars, we linger in malls, we linger
in restaurants.
thus: the spaghetti factory was born.
every time my grandma is in town, we go to the spaghetti factory. it’s not that anyone in my family loves
the spaghetti factory all that much but…it works! and why fix what’s
not broken, right? everyone orders their same dish (manager’s special
with half mizithra and half meat sauce and yes to the spimoni at the
end, please!) and we sit down in the stupidly large table and we shout
at one another because no one can hear and…it’s tradition!
…and that’s my family.
