"Macaroni, too?"
Yes, sweetheart.

So, I sat and was sad with her.

Someday, I will have to remind her of this situation where it wasn't working out, and we had to make a painful decision. It has dozens of applications: a dead end job, a bad friendship, an abusive relationship....... Tough choices that wake you up with worry and inevitably present themselves in every person's life. It's just part of growing up; realizing that in spite of all their charms, it's usually best to kill the roosters. And quickly, at that.
