2022 Traditions Contest: Dinners with Mom

January 27, 2022
By Anonymous

We never see each other anymore.

She’s always so busy.

But every two weeks

We make time for each other

Every two weeks we

Catch up over food.

Different people.

Different foods.

Different flavors.

All types of restaurants.


We sit in booths-

Sometimes side by side

Sometimes opposite each other.

Round tables,

Square tables,

Outside,

Inside.


Late nights-

Hot Pot, out until 11pm.

Early nights-

Buffalo Wild Wings, shopping at the mall.

We finally get to catch up.

Talk about life 

And we eat surf and turf.

Talk about school

And we eat sandwiches.


I hope this tradition 

Keeps going.
