Dreams Quote by Jarod Kintz
““I had a dream about you. We picked up where we left off, with leftovers, and I said this was the best second-time dinner I’ve ever had a first time. Oh, I had it before, when it was fresh and first made, but this was the first time I was having it for a second time, and that made it special, like a tie at the Olympics. Would both winners get medals made of two metals, gold and silver? That’s what I thought about as I chewed the food as I tried to remember what it tasted like the first time.””
