In an inspiring story emerging from San Francisco, CA, 24-year-old Beverly Marks took stock of her life this morning and realized that against all odds, dino nuggets are just as big a part of her adult diet as she had always hoped they would be as a kid.
Yay! Maybe dreams do come true!
“In the process of growing up, you realize a lot of your childhood dreams don’t translate to adult life in the way you wished,” she told reporters gathered in her kitchen, where she was heating up some nugs in the oven and preparing a watermelon salad to complement the dish. “Turns out, the dino nuggets really stuck! Who would’ve thought that’d be the one dream I honored in adulthood?”
A journal Beverly has kept since childhood confirms she used to dream of “becoming an astronaut-slash-zookeeper with a PhD in space who can fly planes and paint really good,” none of which has really come to fruition. She did also dream of “eating dino nuggets for dinner every night,” though, so a win is a win.
“Sure, my life hasn’t turned out exactly as I’d hoped,” she continued. “But it’s important to bring yourself joy with the little things, such as eating dino nuggets even when you’re ordering out at a restaurant.”
Sources confirm Beverly has inquired whether a restaurant serves dino nuggets on way too many occasions.
Yes, girl! Honor your inner third grader!
“The first question she asks every time we eat out is whether they carry ‘nuggets shaped like T-Rexes or perhaps a triceratops,” said Beverly’s roommate, Tate O’Brien. “They always say no, but she will not stop asking. Why would a Thai restaurant carry chicken nuggets?”
When asked about this incident, Beverly said she never wants to close herself off to the possibility that the universe will provide nuggets in unexpected places.
As far as the nutritional consequences of this diet, doctors say it is definitely not good.
“She’s 60% nugget,” said Beverly’s primary care physician, Dr. Frankie Walz. “She has major vitamin deficiencies by every single metric, but I guess if she’s living the life she’s always dreamed about, who am I to say no? Well, I’m her doctor, so I totally did say no, actually. She just refuses to listen.”
As of press time, Beverly had decided it was time to fulfill another childhood dream by buying a bed shaped like a racecar.
