I’d Be A Potato If I Could Be Anything

What would make a kid want to be a potato? I thought about it. Maybe potatoes are this kid’s favorite food. Potatoes are versatile. They can be boiled. With the right amount of cream they become silky mashed potatoes. When they’re sliced and baked with butter or olive oil, they make a tasty side dish. My favorite way to prepare then eat potatoes is by frying them. Cut into small chunks and tossed into pan with hot oil, they’re nothing short of delicious. They work well with scrambled eggs or in scrambled eggs. But this kid might like French fries. When I was a kid I loved fries. As a grown-up I still love fries. So, a drawing of a bag of fries seemed like a good interpretation for this kid’s thought about be anything. I wonder if this kid likes ketchup.
