Do you know what a bed lunch is?
I’m thinking it’s when you have breakfast in bed and you go back to the bed to eat the crumbs.
I don’t even know.
Well, it has to do with eating around bedtime, actually, a bedtime snack.
Oh, bed lunch.
Yeah. Isn’t that weird?
Like your mom might give you a bed lunch to settle your stomach before you go to sleep.
I don’t think it’s necessarily a good practice, but I’m saying a lot of people have a bed lunch.
Well, you know, that’s not the first time that I’ve heard lunch disassociated from the midday meal.
In a lot of businesses where people don’t work the standard nine-to-five shift,
the meal that they’re permitted by law or by their company is called lunch,
even if it happens at 10 o’clock at night or 2 in the morning.
It’s still lunch.
Yeah, that’s true.
I’m going to go take lunch.
Yeah.
