I'd hoped the language might come on its own, the way it comes to babies, but people don't talk to foreigners the way they talk to babies. They don't hypnotize you with bright objects and repeat the same words over and over, handing out little treats when you finally say "potty" or "wawa." It got to the point where I'd see a baby in the bakery or grocery store and instinctively ball up my fists, jealous over how easy he had it. I wanted to lie in a French crib and start from scratch, learning the language from the ground floor up. I wanted to be a baby, but instead, I was an adult who talked like one, a spooky man-child demanding more than his fair share of attention.
Rather than admit defeat, I decided to change my goals. I told myself that I'd never really cared about learning the language. My main priority was to get the house in shape. The verbs would come in due time, but until then I needed a comfortable place to hide.

All I know is that when I need to eat my feelings, my feelings taste like Wawa milkshakes with extra M&Ms.

When you’re at the touchscreen ordering a custom sandwich at Wawa and they ask you all those questions, take them seriously.

All the time in the world may sound nice in theory, but in practice it can become a swift kick to the balls. CHAPTER 7 Harper’s is the local convenience store around here, only it’s nothing like the Wawas and 7-Elevens I frequented when I lived in the Philadelphia area.

I was nineteen years old and a sophomore in college. The room could barely hold ten people and it was cement gray, just like I imagined when I thought of a courthouse waiting room. A secretary sat in the corner checking her email, only stopping to pick up the phone or take a long, hard swallow of her mega-sized WaWa coffee. She was the only one in the room that looked at ease, while everyone else sat in an awkward silence waiting for Heather to come in and tell us what was next.

Wawa is a Pennsylvania staple,” he chuckles. “It’s as important as trying a cheesesteak or a pork roll.

It’s better for us to be in six states and have all of our stores concentrated than spread out over half the United States. We call this our cluster strategy.

When we pass a Buc-ee’s, we decide to pull in. They’re a major chain of convenience stores that local Texans swear by. People back in PA told us we needed to take the opportunity to stop in one and compare it to Wawa, the local south-eastern Pennsylvania favorite convenience store. Brooke and I went on record that we were skeptical Buc-ee’s could live up. But when we walk through the automatic doors, we know we were wrong.

HOME AWAY FROM HOME:
PHILADELPHIA The City of Brotherly Love. Except a lot of people are mean. Not really mean, it’s just a city with people who take no shit and don’t suffer fools. I felt at home in Philly immediately. I stayed in Manayunk, a super-hilly neighborhood. Sketchy as all hell driving in the wintertime. I think of the arena, Flyers games, Dev’s Grandma’s Italian stuffing, dive bars that look like somebody’s house. I never had a dog in the fight about which place delivered the best cheesesteak. … Those conversations between proud Philadelphians can get tense. I thought they were all pretty good, but, boy, did I fall in love with Wawa.

He turned to her in delighted confusion, his arms brimming with packaged foods. “I don’t understand this place. Is it a fast-food restaurant or a convenience store?” “Both. Wawa is where those two worlds converge.
