A couple of weeks ago, when we were in Colorado Springs with Debbie, (which at this point seems very long ago) Abby decided that she wanted pie. So Deb and I decided that we'd make pie for dessert that night. The day was young, and we were still full of energy and ambition.
By around eight that night, we'd just finished dinner, which was pizza that we'd made, and I was pondering laundry and not pie. Abby didn't get her pie that night, but I promised her that she would soon, very soon, get to have pie.
Whether I kept my promise or not depends on your definition of soon, I suppose.
We kept making our way across the country, and while she didn't lack for dessert, she didn't manage to get any pie before we arrived in Washington DC. By this point, she was calling me 'pie-hater' with alarming regularity. I kept professing my love for pie, and reiterating my promise of pie, but that didn't stop the harassment.
When we visited the Museum of American History, we were in the snack shop downstairs, and Abby pointed excitedly. There was pie! Lots of pie!
Unfortunately, it was all fake pie, in the automat display that lined the back of the snack area.
Poor Abby.
Eventually, we got a hot tip about the place to get a giant slice of cherry pie in Washington DC, so we made our way to Kramer's, and we each had a big piece of cherry pie.
I was a pie-hater no longer.
The pie-trauma wasn't quite over, though. On the way back from NYC, late at night, we decided to swing through McDonald's for a snack pie. We'd had a late lunch and skipped dinner, and it was almost midnight, so we were all ready for a little something to tide us over.
Unfortunately for us, however, McDonald's was only serving their 'late-night' menu, which removes all the good stuff (pie) and leaves only the gross stuff (many other menu items). Abby and I both got highly annoyed and didn't want anything at all, if we couldn't have pie. Katrina was a little smarter, even as she was woken up out of a sound sleep, and got a sprite and a supersized fries. Of course, Abby and I then stole a whole bunch of her fries, because it was midnight, and we hadn't eaten in a long time.
Poor Katrina. Good thing she supersized.
