Picture this: My
boyfriend Alex and I are on a date at Chili's. You know, sitting across from
each other at one of those obnoxiously small tables they have. Right. So we are
talking about pretty much anything, which is how our dates usually go. This
time I am unsure what to order because even though I was starving, nothing was
sounding too good to me. After perusing the menu for a couple of minutes I was
torn between a bacon burger and fajitas. Remembering the last time I ate at
Chili's with my brother, I chuckle a little to myself. Naturally, Alex asks me
what I could possibly find funny while looking at a menu. Then I tell him this
story as follows: "The last time I was here with my brother I got the
bacon burger and after eating half of it, I took a bite of a pickle only to
realize it was more of a cucumber" (Seriously though, it was disgusting.
It tasted like the cucumber had only been pickling for like, an hour or
something so it was still 90% a cucumber)
The look on Alex's
face will forever be ingrained into my memory, the look of utter confusion. He
says, "they put cucumbers on your burger!?" At this point, I'm the
one confused. Then it something dawns on me. "Babe, you know that pickles are
just pickled cucumbers, right?" His response told me what I needed to
know, he said "Ummmmmmmmmmm they are?"
Just a little side
note, in my head during all of this I am torn between making fun of him (which
is my natural instinct) and letting him off the hook by being nice and
educating him. It is taking all of my willpower not to laugh at him. But come
on, everyone knows that you pickle a cucumber to make a pickle, right????
Wrong…………………
Alex grew up in
Ohio, so they must not have pickles in Ohio. That's the only thing I can think
of that makes sense to me how this 23 year old man does not know that pickles
are manmade. He actually told me "I thought they grew in the ground like
other vegetables, I've never eaten a whole one just the ones on hamburgers" ummmm sorry but that's wrong. After explaining to my
man-baby about how pickles are made, and how that all works, I decided to let
him off the hook just this once and not make fun of him. Which was hard.
Extremely hard.
We left Chili's with
full stomachs and a laugh.
