This past weekend when I was seeing
Godzilla with my cousin we stopped off at the little cafe they have
there and she got coffee and a cookie. She asked the cashier if the
cookies tasted like cafeteria cookie and he just shrugged. When
someone says “cafeteria cookie” I know exactly what they are
talking about. There is a taste, texture, and smell that goes into
one of these type of cookies that is just incredible. I started
telling her about the one day at school when the cookies were
“burned” so they were handing them out for free.
I took four and ran off with them
hidden as if they were stolen. These cookies were a hot commodity! I
felt like that Black lady in that episode of The Chappelle Show when
Black people got reparations and she said to the newscaster “Hide
ya money, ya'll! There's poor people around! With ya broke ass!”
because this was not a school occupied by rich children. These
cookies cost a quarter and quarters were a big deal when I was
little.
