Last April during my family's annual trip to Chicago to see American Ballet Theatre, husband and I evidently ate something bad, which chose to manifest itself in a most unfortunate way just after we got on the interstate to head home to Knoxville. Suffice it to say, our poor teenager–who was spared the sickness–spent eight hours in the backseat of the car underneath his jacket, moaning, while his parents continually, er, well, you know. Into large cups from McDonald's. Ahem. As we were exiting the freeway for the first cleanup and change of clothing (one stop of many that unforgettable day), teenager caught sight of a Cracker Barrel billboard and absolutely could not contain his hysterical laughter: BREAKFAST YOUR WAY, read the sign, COMIN' RIGHT UP.
