Tradition

(You know I had to)
Everyone has their own little traditions that they don't even really know about. They usually aren't very big but we unconsciously do them, like tapping a certain pattern on your desk when thinking or always turning on a certain CD while doing homework-- and you always do it in their designated time
   One little tradition of my family is macaroni  on Sundays. Every Sunday, when we get home from church (We attend the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints also known as the Mormon church) my dad or me (Mandarin) goes straight to the stove and starts making some box macaroni. In my extensive cooking experience, I can make six things.
1. Box Mac n' cheese
2. Ramen
3. Cereal
4. Box brownies
5. Sandwiches
6. Fried Eggs- I make good fried eggs-my dad taught me
While we make the macaroni the rest of the family heads upstairs to change out of their nice Sunday dress clothes into pajamas and other lazy stuff . Two bowls with regular macaroni are set aside for me and Bean and the rest of the family puts canned chili in theirs. I don't understand why. After that we may all dispense to study scriptures or read or nap and stuff. Very rarely do we veer off this pattern. I'm grateful for it. I am glad that there is this one part of the week that barely ever changes. It's a restful time after church to just sit together as a family and eat broke food. And I love it.
