Requiem For a Lobster

On Saturday we went with my Mom to one of our favorite haunts, the Lobster Trap in North Conway. I ordered the easy-to-eat lobster pie, Mom ordered a tail, and Karen ordered a whole lobster. The meals arrived after the boys had spent a considerable amount of time looking at the live lobsters in the tank in the lobby.

And when Karen's whole lobster arrived, all Danny could keep saying was, "poor lobster." Excuse me, ma'am, would a like a little guilt with your lobster?

To make matters worse, Danny starting launching into one of his fanciful tales about North Conway lobsters, and how you can't eat them becuase they are babies, and because they can swim underwater.

I think next time Karen is going to have the lobster pie.
