Smoothie Rant
Can I just add that I’m getting ready to take a stand against all forms of smoothie conversation! It is impossible to walk three feet with a smoothie without some busybody thinking that the glass contains not a drinkable snack, but a golden invitation with his/her name on it to five minutes of senseless chatter about all things blended. I had two smoothies today. The first one was so good, I wanted another one later. I should have anticipated a mandatory sentence of hefty explanations to everyone, especially those who had seen me with the first one. "What’s in it? Why’d you get another one? Why did you get it with that?" One girl had the gall to loudly exclaim "Eeeeww" when I revealed my drink’s contents. Thanks, bitch!
It seems like people just want to find that secret smoothie recipe that has eluded them all their lives. Newsflash! What I like, you might not like so let me enjoy it in peace!
The scary thing is that I really want to go get a third one, but I really don’t want to deal with the flack I’ll get. Any ideas for snappy or even politely evasive responses to their questions? I think for now I’ll say that I don’t know what’s in it. And if they ask why not, I’ll say I don’t know, and so on. That’ll be a good start, I guess. Sometimes I have a feeling I’m turning into a cranky person.
