Story #45: Running Away from School



On Friday Carley and I ran away from school and went to Costco...I had never been there before like whoa. It was apparently sample day? Here is Carley eating a pierogi. "It's potato and cheese, even you can have it, do you want some?" she yelled across the masses of people swarming the sample lady. "Mm, never go to Costco on sample day with an Italian," she said, "we'll just eat the whole time." "Speaking of cultural groups and eating, what about an Italian and a Jew?" I said. "Good point!" she replied. "Want another pierogi?"

We were there to buy snacks for students to have as a special brain boost during the standardized testing that's happening at school the next...yeah...three weeks. So, almost 600 kids times twelve days of testing times how many boxes of cheddar Goldfish do we need?! equals SO MANY snacks. $310.25 later we loaded it all into her 2 door Accord (would have been a perfect opportunity to take advantage of all the cargo space in the Subaru, but alas it was in Oakland) and, while tempted to play hooky and get iced coffee at Java Beach, we went back to school. Wow did we feel like we were getting away with something while we were out in the real world though.
