Slice of Life 29/31

"Am I allowed to bring food in?" asks Jonah.
"It's a giant warehouse. I think the only rule is to pay for stuff," I reply. We are pulling into the parking lot at Costco. It's Friday afternoon, spring break, and I just want to go home and watch T.V., but we are leaving on Monday, so my mom has to buy things. She gives me cash at the door and I herd my siblings toward the food court. I think the fact that Costco has a food court is a testament to how huge it really is. People can lose a lot of blood sugar if they ignore the samples (which no one ever does). I get a churro and immediately regret it as I taste my sister's smoothie. The smoothies have a ton of sugar and probably a lot of other crap, but they taste amazing. That's all we ever get at the food court, sugary things and occasionally the dollar pizza. Some of the items on the menu are just baffling, including the 'Chicken Bake,' an entree consisting of chicken, cheese, bacon and Cesar dressing. I think it sounds disgusting. My phone rings, and it's my mom, updating me on her location. We head to the meat department.
