香蕉船中的甜蜜岁月
Juliana Kim
对这对老夫妇而言，甜品店的香蕉船见证了他们一起度过的悠长岁月，是实实在在的“时间机器”。
For Brad and Susan Wall, a banana split (香蕉船，一种冰激凌甜品) from a desert shop is their version of a time machine.“No matter how much we"ve grown and changed over the years, this brings back that love we had,”said Susan, who is an event manager in Toronto.
The two have kept their tradition for 35 years. When Brad was in Montreal for work, the two visited Dairy Queens in their respective cities and ate the dessert over the phone. Another year, when Brad"s job took him to Dubai, Susan went to Dairy Queen by herself—taking a single bite and putting the rest in the freezer for him to eat when he returned home a few days later.And during the first year of the pandemic,the two ordered a banana split.
Susan and Brad do not consider themselves creatures of habit. Aside from this tradition, they cannot think of another one they take seriously or consistently. All that to say, they continue to go, but not just for tradition"s sake(因为……的缘故).
For Brad, their tradition is a chance to forget the tasks and stress of the day and relive their favorite memories. He also enjoys seeing how excited his wife gets every August.“No matter what else is going on,when it comes time for the banana split,we forget all of that, and we remember what"s important,”Brad said.
How long have the couple kept their tradition?
