ST. PARIS — Sources close to the Graham Elementary volunteer scene on W. US Highway 36 confirm that at least one parent maintains a detailed internal ranking of which families “actually bake” versus which families “swing by St. Paris Shoppers with a plastic tray and confidence.”
“I’m not judging,” said the parent, while judging in the Falcons parking lot. “I’m noticing.”
Defenders of store-bought argued that the children eat three cookies and forget the geopolitical implications. The counterargument was a long silence and a smile that did not reach the eyes — same energy as the Thrifty Falcon clearance rack on Springfield Street.
