Restaurant Roulette: The Truth Clicks

Part 3 Years later in college, I told my roommate about restaurant roulette,

expecting her to laugh. She just stared at me and said, “Your parents taught

you how to dine and dash.” And that’s when it finally clicked. What seemed like

the most thrilling family adventure—the excitement of fancy dinners, frantic exits,

and Happy Meal rewards—was actually a long-running prank disguised as a “tradition.” But despite how

messed up it sounds, Emma and I still laugh about it to this day.
