experienced abrupt nostalgia for childhood, but specifically the part of childhood in which going to a bakery specialized in pies was always an exotic and thrilling adventure, because "what is a particular flavor of pie actually like, and is it good" felt like highly complex knowledge that only adults could master. the huge variety of pie flavors out there in the world would surely take one's entire childhood to catalogue

#now in my jaded mid-twenties i know that i fucking hate graham cracker crust and that fruit pies are similar to each other.#it's not like i was UNABLE to access pie or anything. but i think because going to bakers square was a special treat i only got to do with #my aunts #and i therefore had to really choose something good so that i was clearly taking the opportunity sufficiently seriously #the whole endeavor of selecting pie developed a lot of stakes.#box opener
