You Again
Jason and I achieved new heights in fatness yesterday when we ordered Chinese delivery once at 12PM and again at 5PM. We, more or less, ordered the same thing. I’ve been experiencing hardcore dumpling cravings. Even now, having just eaten a salad and Lean Cuisine for lunch, I want nothing more than a plate full of surprise-meat dumplings.
Am considering telling people I’m pregnant, just so there’s an excuse other than gluttony.
When Jason gave our address the second time, the guy on the phone said, “Again” without any sort of emotional cues or punctuation. The guy who delivered was much more enthusiastic about it. “It’s you again!”
They also packed us a small container of pineapple for free. Jason said that it was just a nice thing that they do sometimes (and they do send us freebies occasionally), but I know that this time, they were saying, “Here. Please eat this instead. We care about your hearts.”
The pineapple is in the fridge, but all the dumplings are gone.
