Dr. Seuss meets cafeteria food

I visited a local elementary school to meet with a student that I mentor once a week. We are standing in the cafeteria line and the girl in front of him points out that they are serving green eggs and ham, presumably for Dr. Seuss’ birthday.

“They’re nasty,” she points out.

I’m inclined to agree with her. The eggs look like jello and I have no idea exactly what the ‘ham’ is supposed to be; I later decided it most closely resembled bacon.

I ask her, “you don’t like green eggs and ham?”

“No,” she emphatically responds.

“Would you eat them in a box?”

“NO! Gross!”

“Would you eat them with a fox?”

She now realizes I’m making a (bad) joke and responds with with a chortled “no” mixed with a slight tone of “you stupid.”

Happy birthday Dr. Seuss.
