DIRTY LITTLE SECRET - NUMBER #1
FRIED CHICKEN
Fried chicken…….…mm……mmmm! Yep, this is my Dirty Little Secret Number 1. I love to eat fried chicken.
‘And that’s your secret!’ I hear you say. ‘Eating fried chicken isn’t against the law.’
This is true. Eating fried chicken is not against the law but it is contradictory to the eating practices promoted in my household.
You see, health and longevity are of paramount importance and eating fast food let alone fried chicken is an opposing factor to this ambition. Being the mother of four young children and the wife of a middle-aged, pot-bellied man who has had heart bypass surgery, has encouraged me to implement a healthy eating regime for the family. This includes or should I say excludes fast food from venturing into our home.
‘Great! Wonderful! Pat the girl on the back!’
Alas, I have fallen from grace and not just once.
While the children are at school and the husband is at work I often frequent the local shopping center. Here I stock up on groceries and run errands as one does. During this time, I often pass a fast food chicken shop called ‘Ketchup Fries & Chicken’. I try to walk pass swiftly but all to no avail. The aroma, that I am sure is deliberately pumped out, wafts from the store and tickles my nostrils. My stomach begins to rumble and my mouth begins to salivate and before I know it I am walking away with a chicken burger and chips. I hurry to my car which has become my refuge for devouring such tasty treats as I can never make it home due to the hunger sensations within. Once in the car I taste the oil that squirts out as I chomp down into that tender fried chicken fillet. Oh joy ….oh bliss! Absolutely delicious!
Afterwards, whilst feeling poorly, I have the arduous task of airing the car prior to school pickup. For some reason the smell of fried chicken seems to take some time to vacate a vehicle. It is essential that I rid the car of this aroma because if my children catch one tiny little whiff then my secret will be revealed. It would be the downfall of me and all that I preach. All credibility would be lost.
On the odd occasion my husband has come home early to find me fanning the car. ‘What’s going on?’ he enquires.
‘Oh, nothing dear, the car is just a little stinky and I thought I would give it a good airing.’ This response seems to satisfy my beloved as no further questions are asked.
REASON FOR HARBORING SECRET:
I am protecting my children from the evils of fast food by keeping this secret until at least they are of an age when I am no longer responsible for their eating habits. Hopefully, what I have instilled in my children will flow through into their adult life and they will not be victims of a fast food culture which I have already befallen to.
Is this an acceptable or unacceptable secret?
