A normal day
Imparted the experience of my day to good friend Laura, including description of the very-expensive ice cream I bought just for her at the Farmer's Market and the flourishing of a rare zit that began Friday.
The ice cream made her intrigued, the zit turned her on.
I jest not. To wit, the conversations:
Ice cream
Me: "I bought you some very expensive ice cream today."
Laura: "Oh dear. How expensive was it?" [Am sure she was remembering the other very expensive ice cream I bought to feed her pre-, during and post-pregnancy habit which turned out to be awful]
Me: "This is great. It's spicy chocolate — real cream, real chocolate and full on spice."
Laura: "I do like spicy chocolate. So they were not shy about the spice?"
Me: "Absolutely not. Like a wall of spice. Tried some and knew you'd love it."
Laura: "NIiice."
Me: "Almost bought you the avocado lime ice cream, but then tried the chocolate and knew you'd kill me if I did not bring it to you."
Laura: "I have eaten two whole avocadoes in as many days - is that wrong?"
Zit
Me: "So that zit on the end of my nose has gotten bigger."
Laura: "Well I saw the beginning of it Friday, I can imagine where it was going to go."
Me: "Yeah. It's got a white head but is ...."
Laura: "Arrrrgh. White head? When are you coming over."
Me:" Ohhh I am *so* not coming over. You are getting nowhere near this thing. Sides, it's too deep to pop yet."
Laura: "But I am so good at coaxing them out..."
Me: " I do not care. It hurts. It hurts a lot. Even when someone looks at it, it hurts. The very pressure of their gaze ... "
Laura: "Good thing you are not dramatic at all. I'll take care of it for you. Won't hurt at all. "
Me: "Pffft. No. Give it up. Problem is, I do not really know how to deal with these things. It's almost a textbook zit now, with a perfect red ring around it a deep, white head ..."
Laura: "Oh my god that sounds glorious. You're killing me. This is like porn."
Me: "You are so weird."

how wrong is it to be turned on by this conversation?
Really? Spicey ice cream was yummy?! I can't see that. Curry, yes. Chili, yes. But chocolate? No. I want milky chocolate. Probably the only thing that will lure me to hunger these days. No appetite.
You're both weird. And yes, spicy chocolate is delicious. Think Mexican chocolate cake. Or that Juliette Binoche made in the film Chocolat.
Karen you need to make that watermelon salad. It's delicious.
