    Chili (without beans) and cheddar cheese. I’ll miss not having onions but I can live without.

    Or mustard and sauerkraut.

    Your parents aren’t proud of you because you choose their acknowledgement over onions on hotdogs.

    Fucking loser

    Your parents: “We are proud of you to the same extent that we are proud of ketchup”

      I hear you.

      You spend your life trying to satisfy the rules of conditional love with nothing but severe negative feedback dotted with moments of seemingly genuine affection… only for it all to be dashed away at the slightest perceived sleight (e.g. you didn’t visit one weekend because you had to juggle your own life).

      At this point I’m living with the idea that a form of unconditional love exists deep deep within, but is unable to express itself because it’s overpowered by sheer narcissism (the me me me generation were never taught introspection). Why show pride or affection to your kids when petty jealousy and vindictiveness are the main defining traits of your generation.

      I hold onto the good memories as hard as I can (there are quite a few nice ones), but I try not to get my hopes up anymore about the relationship. It is what it is.

    I’d take mine with chili and pure satisfaction in life, but that would be redundant so chili alone will suffice.

    I had an old coworker who came from the UK (ex military in UK and Navy in US) ask me to grab him a burrito bowl one time at work, I askes whag he wanted in it and he said to tell the person to pack it like his wife was going on vacation and was only allowed one bag. That may be sexist/stereotyping and offensive, but I used that line the next time I got a street dog and he knew exactly what I meant.

    Does chili count as one thing? And cheese.

    Or mayo and relish.

    Or mayo and dijon mustard.

    Or chipotle mayo and caramelized onions.

    Is ketchup sweeter than it used to be? I can’t stand it anymore.
