Week 2 Classmate Response- Response to Jenna Harvie's Junkyard Quotes
The avenue you took with your junkyard quotes this week interested and peaked my curiosity. I know this probably won't help much in regards to your quotes, but while reading, I was reminded of one particular "weird" restaurant I dined at with my family, and I thought it might generate an interesting prompt for you or others to work on over the next few weeks. Maybe you could tie in some of your junkyard quotes or others from that website.
For my 16th birthday, my parents took my brothers and I to a "fine dining" restaurant with a prominent pirate theme. As soon as we walked in, the host plastered name tags on each of us with corny, Disney-fied pirates names like "Smee" or "Bluebeard." At least none of my brothers received a tag that read "Hello, My name is Betty the Barrel-chested." I did though. My mother immediately ripped this name off my shirt before the whole world narrowed in on my chest.
"What or where is the oddest place you have eaten and what made it odd?" Maybe a little too narrow. Perhaps something odd that occurred while you eating at a restaurant? I know this doesn't help too much, but it definitely got me thinking.
