The Great Nugget Showdown: Who’s in the Wrong?
Our protagonist, a 28-year-old uncle, found himself in the middle of a heated confrontation over his niece’s leftover chicken nuggets at a soft-play park. The manager insisted that adults were not allowed to eat the kid’s meals and tried to take the plate away. The uncle stood his ground, arguing that the food would go to waste otherwise.
