So I'm at lunch...(today's menu: milk, apple slice, bean soup, texas toast-size slice of bread, and wierd salad: broccoli, pineapple, cabbage, cheese) and I manage to eat everything, because it wasn't horrible today....but when i get to the apple slice, the kid next to me stops me and informs me that I am not eating my lunch in the proper order. I have to finish all of my milk BEFORE i can start on my apple slice. I'm looking at him like he has a 3rd eye or something, because I often eat apples WITH my milk...and its never been an issue before. But then I start to look around me and realize the only people eating their apples are finished with their milk...All I could think was...What kind of wierd ass protocol is this? I mean come on...its just an apple slice...why do i have to finish my milk before i can eat it.

By the way, I did the right thing...I finished my milk then ate the apple...I figure its best not to start anything over something so trivial...considering I regularly hide food in my napkin and later dispose of it in the trash...best not to draw too much attention to my eating habits.
