Apple Pie and a Classy Lady

There a few basic foods that will never under any circumstance make good travel snacks. My dad found this out the hard way when he gave bananas and strawberries to my brother and sister for an extended car trip when they were still young. "Fruit! That's nutrition!" He thought triumphantly.

It turns out that fruit squishes and is fun to stick between the seats of cars. WHO EVEN KNEW.

Well guess what? Apple pie has now officially joined the ranks of "Foods That Should Never Be Consumed in a Car When You Are Planning On Remaining in that Car for At Least 7 Hours."

I had to eat with my hands, there were no spoons or chopsticks. Don't even ask why I had apple pie in a car, because that was also coincidentally my fault. Being the classy woman I am, I was feeling overly ambitious in my ability to eat sticky, syrupy fruit while in a moving vehicle with no wet wipes or paper towels. Just me and the pie.

It turns out that pie crust is not quite as durable as a plate. It also turns out that apple filling loves to be everywhere but in your mouth. Have you ever spoon fed a baby? I really became one with my inner-baby.

Apple pie is something not to be eaten in the car unless you have extensive lady-like and classy demeanor like me.
