Cracker -
Because just yesterday I was telling my daughter that it was a derogatory word. An insult directed at descendants of slave owners.
Cracker, like the “crack” sound their whips used to make.
But I’d rather talk about crackers. Nice graham crackers. Animal crackers. Cheese crackers.
Crackers with cheese. Crackers that go with cheese.
Crackers that used to be delicious but now taste like cardboard. Is it my taste buds that have changed? Or their recipe?
Wood pulp. What most “crackers” in the United States are made of nowadays. Our cereal too. Disguised as “cellulose fiber” to make us think that it’s good for us.
But it’s not.
Cracker. Such a simple word that brings so much disgust to me.
It’s easy to blame the world but when a children’s snack sets you off, you’ve become the problem.
