Pippa pays close attention to the news, so I wasn’t surprised to hear that she was on top of the finger-in-Wendy’s-chili story. She did catch me off guard by reading aloud some of the details, though, and by noting that they were offering $100,000 for “tips” (she thought they had one too many of those already) and that they were looking for “the finger’s original owner” (she wondered if that meant that Wendy’s owns it now).
Meanwhile, I felt sympathy for the real Wendy and her namesakes. . . .
Reminds me of the old Zen saying, “The finger is not the spoon.”
Part of me wants to encourage Pippa, and finds her comments hopeful… The other part just wants to add, “Ew.”
