>Deep thoughts from my brother Lincoln:

Lincoln: “Rachel. Sometimes you just have to eat the chicken.”

Me: huh?

Lincoln: “the chicken….before it goes bad.”

Me: “what chicken?”

Lincoln: “the chicken [dramatic pause] in life.”

What does that even mean? Is that a 14-year-old boy version of “seize the day?” or if the freezer defrosts eat all the ice cream before it melts? We’ve decided that Lincoln majors in pushing his family members’ buttons and minors in comic relief. I guess it doesn’t translate well to written words, but I’m trying to apply his profound words of wisdom to my life. 😉
