"It's the day when I have three lecture sections and an afternoon lab"
"OH, I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME! WHAT DAY IS IT?!?!"
"The day when I have not one, but two, evening meetings."
"ERICA ERICA ERICA ERICA.....WHAT DAY IS IT?"
"Go away, camel."
"HUMP DAAA....." "NO"

Some parents talk about "sneaking" vegetables into foods to get their kids to eat them. That would probably backfire on me.
I remember a couple of disastrous restaurant trips, both times I ordered a grilled cheese. The first time, it came as Grilled Cheese "Florentine" (that is, with a layer of soggy cooked spinach on it) even though nowhere on the menu was spinach mentioned. (I managed a couple bites but then said, "No more.") I also remember once traveling, after six hours in the car (I was not the driver and had no control over the situation) stopping at a Culver's and ordering a grilled cheese and finding out not only was it not actually really grilled, it had MAYONNAISE on it. (I admit it: I was over 30 at the time but I started to cry very quietly at the table, because I had HAD IT. Sitting in a backseat for six hours with my knees practically touching my nose, watching my short vacation evaporate faster than I had imagined, having spent the past several days around individuals who had a hard time deciding as a group on ANYTHING and therefore everything took much longer than it should....and then the ignominy of a cheese sandwich that wasn't properly grilled AND had mayonnaise on it AND had pasty winter-tomato slices.
And of course, now, most restaurant grilled cheese sandwiches are off-limits, because most commercial breads are very high in sodium, as is the processed cheese typically used in those sandwiches. So I especially regret those two I was unable to eat.)
