Lunch date with Cousin Cate.
A lunchtime call from Cousin Cate while her lunch “date” left the table.
CC: “Do you love me?”
Me: “Yes.”
CC: “Then you will leave the office, come directly to this restaurant and sit here with me through the rest of this lunch with —–.”
Me: “I love you, but you know I can’t stand him. So, no.”
CC: “Amy Beth, I will do anything for you if you will just come rescue me.”
Me: “I’m trying to think if I owe you any favors. But I don’t think I do, so… no.”
CC: “You’re right; we are even on the favor thing right now. But if you did this for me, it would earn you points and you would be in the lead in the future.”
Me: “Tempting. And yet, no. He’s just… eww.”
CC: “He’s on his way back over here, so I have to make this quick. In five minutes, call me back so I can pretend like I need to talk to you. PLEASE.”
Me: { uncontrolled laughter }
CC: “Are you laughing at me? Is that what I’m hearing right now?”
Me: “I’ll think about calling you in five. But first, I need to go blog this entire conversation.”
And did you call her back? Because part 2 of that convo has pretty good laughing potential
too funny…I had a date like that in college. I insisted my friend double with me, just to make it bearable! Besides, she’s the one that talked me into saying yes!
Did you go? Did you call? Don’t leave us hanging. You and CC are too funny.
let me just tell you Flowerpot………she didn’t come and she did not call….until about an hour after!
where was the video camera AB?? : )
I have totally done that, numerous times. you meet a guy, you speak to him on the phone, he seems nice, you organised a date. on the way to the restaurant he stops at a bathroom store and sits on the display toliet and pretends to do ‘number 2′ while laughing his head off because it’s so funny.
that date was over before it even started.
Oh dear.
You didn’t go to her aid and you didn’t call?
Do you really think it’s safe to anger Cate in this manner?
