For Richard

Nothing for the rest of you to see here, move along.

So, it went like this.....totally out of the blue.....


P: So, Melanie, do you think you'd like a mango and cucumber smoothie?

M: No, actually I don't like smoothies,.

P: What do you mean you don't like smoothies? They are delicious!

M: I don't like them.

P: What don't you like about them?

M: I'm not big on fruit juice, and this is thicker.

P: Oh so it's a texture issue? You have texture issues?

M: No, I just prefer to eat food and drink fluids.

P: Texture issues, huh. Oh well you don't know what you're missing! You should try one.

M: No thanks.

P: You really should, they are very healthy, you like healthy food, I know you do.

M: I eat all the same things in my diet. I don't feel the need.

P: It's the perfect way to get nutrition.

M: I just prefer to eat food, not drink it.

P: So you don't even drink juice? What do you drink?

M: Water.

P: What - all day?

M: Yes. Until dinner, then I have a glass of wine.

P: But fruit juice is good for you!

M: I eat fruit.

P: You are just so stubborn.

M: I just like what I like.

P: But you don't have to be so negative about what others eat!

M: I just don't like it, that's all.

P: Well you don't have to be so difficult about it, jeez. Why do you always have to trash other people's health choices?

M: ...........



Can I just add, this is the same person who said "BLEARGH" quite recently when I said I was having liver & onions for dinner.
