oh colonial park diner. your food really is not that good. but you are open twenty-fo' seven. and you do not complain when we only order coffee. nor do you kick us out. the waitresses know us and laugh at our jokes. they also tell us what we want to order ("no you don't want a bagel- you want pea soup.") they are snarky and a little off but this is why we love them. thank you, for being there when our parents tell us we are too loud and we have to take it somewhere else. thank you for being there when we're strapped for cash and just want to enjoy each other's company. thank you for having that bubblegum machine at the front that dispenses those creepy animal eraser toppers. thank you for sobering up our friends when necessary. thank you for providing the setting to many of our important discussions and best inside jokes. thank you for giving us so many creamers so we can create beautiful ornate towers as we wait for our pickles and toast. i love you cpd. you and me. forever baby.
