Top Secret Tuesday: Sprite and Mothers Circus Animal Cookies
I was in the 9th grade the year I decided that my staple food was going to be Sprite and those frosted animal cookies with sprinkles (Mothers Circus Animal Cookies). I had gone from 5th grade to 9th grade packing my lunch, consisting of either peanut butter and jelly and chips or a meat sammich with fruit. I was fed up with that kind of lunch.
I was smart enough that I was getting paid to do other student’s homework and with the profit that I was making (as it was all profit), I afforded the best money can buy. Ok, maybe it wasn’t the best, but it was what I was happy to be eating day in and day out. Every day at lunch time I would head to the vending machines, get me a sprite (no vending machine serves diet sprite, or sprite zero so I drank the regular stuff) and then I would get me a bag of Mothers Circus Animal Cookies (they’re some of my favorite cookies). I would be very bummed if the machines were out of sprite or out of the cookies (that meant that I had to go get some “normal” cafeteria lunch).
I’m not quite sure how I managed to do this because every day before lunch I was in the nurses office to check my blood, and I don’t recall if I was taking a shot before I ate or if I was doing it after I ate, because my meter was stored in the nurses office, so the logistics of how I survived my 9th grade year on sprite and frosted sprinkled animal cookies is beyond me.
