If you’re a member of my family, you know what today is.
If you’re not (which is the statistical majority of you), you might think today is just your run-of-the-mill, semi-scary Friday the 13th.
But you would be wrong. (Sorry.)
This is my mom.
This is my mom on coffee.
This is my mom since she has stopped drinking coffee. Cold-turkey. After, like, 80,000 consecutive years (not really) of three cups a day.
But this is my mom when Friday the 13th is in sight.
Why? Because my mom loves Big Macs. More than coffee and maybe even chocolate. And she eats a Big Mac every Friday the 13th (and only on those days, so you can see why this is such a celebration). She calls it a “Big Mac Attack.” The fact that there will be THREE such “Attacks” this year (today, April 13th and July 13th) does not diminish the excitement. At all.
So how ’bout it? Wanna participate in our weird family tradition? We’ll be digging in at 7:00 pm EST if you’d like to join!
(You’re welcome, McDonalds.)
I think you just drew my wife.
whoa… didn’t even notice the date. hmmmm this changes everything about today, but not really, just the degree of how much I blame my future actions of the day on the date. hooooorayyy excuses to act like an irresponsible member of the community! can’t wait
How fun is that! I need to have a fun and quasi-sinful thing that I do on Friday the 13th and leap years. Hmmmm.
Same here! What a fun idea, haha. Go for it, Kate’s mom! :)
I love the Big Mac Attack Day. because it’s been going on for a long time, it’s sorta like the first Flash Mob done in a Mac Attack way. I’ll be thinking of ya’ll at 6 our time unless i cave and have one. but, i don’t eat beef, or pork, or chicken, but i could have a Fish Fillet in the Laura honor. just don’t tell anyone. we’ll make believe it’s a Big Mac. i’ll be at mickey d’s at 6!
Such an awesome thing to do! Shame I didn’t see this post until the 14th- but I may have to join you in it on the next two Friday 13ths!
Lol, that’s a fun tradition!
