I love seeing professors and staff members eating with their families in the Marketplace. Their kids’ trays always seem to be filled with heaps of french fries and bowls of ice cream overflowing with sprinkles, which never fails to crack me up because my tray looks kind of the same on the daily. I am also just as intrigued by the handwashing station, but unlike my little counterparts I am way too embarrassed to use it.
There’s one kid who is cuter than all the others, though. And I may be biased due to the disgusting amount of time I spend in the Jay’s, but you know who it is: the sushi baby. I live to see the sushi baby being toted around by the woman whom I assume is her mother (the baby seems to wear a lot of pink, so we’re gonna say she’s a girl). If I’m wrong, sushi family, I apologize.
First of all, I think it’s adorable that they stand there and accompany the sushi chef while he makes his little delicacies. I mean, I always tell people that I practically grew up in a bank because that’s where my dad worked, but, in my whole life, I’ve never logged half the hours this kid has at her dad’s workplace before she can even sit up. Now it should be noted that I’ve been very busy as of late, so I haven’t had the chance to check up on her hours, but I don’t even think there’s any competition at this point.
It also helps that the sushi baby is absolutely adorable. We’ve all seen bratty little kids who cry and whine and carry on. Not sushi baby. She just sits there in her little baby sling with her little baby cap on and smiles. Just smiles and doesn’t even drool. SHE DOESN’T EVEN DROOL. Which I guess is good, because we’re dealing in the area of foodstuffs, and I’m not about baby drool in the sushi.
While I may not miss dodging little kids in the Marketplace, I sure don’t mind it in the Jay’s Nest. I think professors bringing their families to campus only adds to the wholesome, family environment that Etown already projects. Even though sushi isn’t my favorite thing by a long shot, Sushi Baby makes me like it a lot more. Who couldn’t when the sushi is made with love? And how can it not be made with love if the chef’s entire, adorable little sushi family helps him?
