They require men to wear three piece suits complete with ties. Ladies must wear skirts with nylons and heals of at least two inches. No one likes to dress up for dinner anymore, especially when it’s burger and fries. Even though most think that it’s crazy to have to get all fancied up to have a burger, some folks will do it. I asked someone why. They told me that once you’ve had one of their burgers, all others taste like sawdust, even the ones you make at home.
I sometimes wish I took them for their word. That I hadn’t bought that skirt, fresh nylons, and those shiny new heels. Because now I can never eat anyone else’s burgers again. I’ve been ruined in the best way possible.
This short story is based on John 6: 60-69
60 On hearing it, many of his disciples said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?”
61 Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, “Does this offend you? 62 Then what if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before! 63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit[a] and life. 64 Yet there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him. 65 He went on to say, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them.”
66 From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.
67 “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve.
68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.” (NIV)
