Lyle Mung and Laurel Mung sat in a booth at Denny's with their three children. Lyle ordered grits and bacon, Laurel ordered a Grand Slam with brown toast, two eggs over easy, hash browns, and pancakes. Morris, their eldest, ordered "pancake puppies" which were just a shitty imitation of timbits. The twins each ordered waffles. Nina had strawberry syrup while Estlin chose "generic butter flavour" syrup, but spread a little bit of peanut butter into each tiny square before pouring it on. Nobody smiled because they were all still thinking about the roadkill crow flapping like a garbage bag on the highway and their breakfast tasted like guilt or sadness or something equally unappetizing.
