No babies were harmed in the writing of this post.

Conversations from today's lunch with my girls at the (ick) Olive Garden in lovely Duluth, MN:


"So, I told her I got a balloon for her son, and she got all freaked out."

"Why is that?"

"She said DON'T YOU KNOW BALLOONS KILL BABIES???"

"And I said, balloons don't kill babies, babies kill babies."

"How did that go over?"

"Not too well, but I thought it was funny."

*******************

"Oh gross. There's a hair in my pasta."

"Ick. I ordered the same thing. Do you think I have hair in mine too?"

"No. No hair. Maybe feces, but no hair."

*******************

I ate too much yesterday, and it turns out I drank too little.

Happy "black Friday", my little helium-filled happy-face balloons.

I did not know that balloons had a vendetta against babies. Good to know.

We've gone from babies having babies to babies killin' babies. We have failed as a species.

Babies kill balloons if you ask me.

That is why I never had one.

(i hope my dark humor never offends... it seems this blog o' yours would one of the better spots for it.)

I thought balloons killed squirrels? Or is that bubblegum?

The Olive Garden? I may not be up on the culinary options in Duluth, but isn't there at least still a Pizza Luce there? In any case, sounds like the company was at least better than the food.

I should emphasize here that the Olive Garden was, is, would never in the history of food EVER be my choice.
I fucking HATE the O.G.

Word.

But my lady friends love it, and I love them so there you go.
The things I'll do for those broads.
