Schmnana Schmudding

I answer alot of..."special" calls at work. I think most of you should know what kind of " special" I mean. But today I was introduced to a whole new kind of special..in the mail. Normally when the mail comes it's just a matter of sorting it and stamping it with the little date stamper thingy and then of course figuring out where it needs to go. We of course, get transcripts everyday from people and because the deadline for the spring semester is drawing closer we are now starting to get personal essays from seniors in high school. It should be noted that it is not required, at least where I work, that a student send in a essay about themselves. But I happened to notice my co worker reading this essay I will rename Schmnana Schmudding. This person who shall remain nameless, went on to relate herself to that of a dessert that is common in the south. I got maybe a paragraph into it when I started laughing so hard I was wheezing. Tears began forming in my eyes as I continued to laugh when she compared her personality to that of whip cream using words like  caring, supportive and motivated. I had no idea whip cream was so supportive. Am I the only one in America that was left in the dark about whip cream being so much more then just..whipped cream? I mean who knew?! I know I can certainly be motivated to eat whip cream and I care greatly about doing so but I was completely clueless as to the wonderful personality traits of the substance! I was pounding the table in uncontrollable fits of laughter by the time I got to the part where she listed the two ingredients that really seem to stand out for her in this dessert...vanilla wafers and banana slices. Because the crunchiness of the wafers really describes her personality. Wait, I thought that was the whipped cream?
 Did you know that the banana slices provided in this dessert are bursting with flavor? And that the vanilla wafers are so palette pleasing with their crunchiness? I discovered a whole new hysterical, special world today.  It does greatly concern me however, as to the state that the younger generation is in when the only thing they can think of to compare themselves to is food. Palette pleasing, motivated, caring food.
