My coworkers and I used to joke about this because our food was ‘fresh’ frozen and then microwaved, our vegetarian option looked like slop, the pictures in our menu weren’t even pictures of our own food, half the food on the menu we had discontinued, and we took half the things on the menu off and substituted them (i.e the waffle fries turned to wedges). We said if this show was around we would call it. Business shut down less than a year after it opened.

yeah i did exactly this. this is how children interpret panic attacks and such, so if your kid tells you they have stomach aches, especially sudden, around certain times of days, certain places, or certain events, they are likely having panic attacks

This is another one of those things so obvious in retrospect but so overlooked at the time.

Yupppp like I know my IBS/GAD cycle and interact, now, as an adult. But when my stomach hurt all. the. time. when I was little, I didn’t get it. I just thought I was sick a lot.
