Ridd Right of Passage

when grace was 9 months old, she knew exactly what in-n-out was....we would get her a plain cheeseburger, well done, with her own box...i even kept ketchup in my glove compartment because they serve it cold, and that wouldn't do,

my car smelled like fast food for a year

now hank has reached the age of the burger, but we didn't bother breaking his into small pieces...

new car...same smell
