Life Lessons Taught By a Box of Kentucky Fried Chicken
As I’m sitting at my desk with a mouth full of food from Kentucky Fried Chicken, I had a sudden epitome about my place in the universe. My first assumption was that the grease and fat were really getting to me, and pretty soon I’d be limping around my office telling Elizabeth about the big one. But seriously, I just realized several important things about myself while eating like a coon.
Professional Stature -You know you have arrived at a good place in your career when you can consume a chicken box in full view of everyone without repercussion or judgment.
Health Consciousness - I actually chided myself to the door, at the counter and while leaving KFC for eating this junk, only to remove the majority of the skin off the bird when I started my lunch. Now if that ain’t health conscious….
Spiritual Growth - Even over a box of the ghetto poison, I still say grace for the Lord’s blessing. And then I pray that he doesn’t take me out with a heart attack.
Historical Reflection - I actually thought about how the ancestors fought and died for us to have the opportunity to eat like clowns and not be ridiculed or discriminated against for it. And then I wondered which Negro Col. Sanders stole the original recipe from back in the day.
