Such a Long Walk

My brother was telling my dad how he needed to buy a bunch of granola bars and other various snacks for his dorm room the other day.  This is how the conversation went.

Bro-  “I’m gonna want some granola bars for my dorm room.”
Dad-  “Why?  That’s what the dining hall’s for?”
Me-  “Yeah, but you have to get up at 7:30 in the morning to go.”

Dad-  “The dining hall’s open later than that.”

Bro-  “Well, the dining hall near my dorm isn’t open for breakfast, so I’ll have to walk to the one across campus.  I’ll need to eat something when I wake up for the walk over.”
