I remember the 5 gallon ice cream buckets
\nand jumbo sized Lays potato chips
\nthat were supposed to be hidden in our deep freezer.<\/p>\n
My dad came into the den when I was watching TV with
\nmy boyfriend at the time
\nand brought the bag of potato chips
\nhe had found.<\/p>\n
The potato chips crumbs landed on his shirt
\nas he tried to eat too many too quickly
\nfeeding a spiritual hunger<\/p>\n
Looking back, I feel bad.
\nHe hungered for something he didn\u2019t have
\nand couldn\u2019t find
\nin a bag of potato chips.<\/p>\n
At the time,
\nI was an embarrassed 14 yr old
\nwhose boyfriend was trying not to laugh.<\/p>\n
My dad didn\u2019t seem to have a clue
\nabout his actions or the reaction he received.
\nAnd I\u2019m a little grateful for this<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
