Mother and Child Reunion
Posted by: Liz | From: November 29, 2007
At happy hour, we shared a fried green tomato appetizer, which came stacked up in a pool of red tomato sauce. We decided this was the vegetarian version of a chicken omelette.
As we are getting ready to leave the bar, Heather, Aubrey, and I are putting our coats on and getting our bags together. There are two girls in the booth next to us and one of them notices a scarf near our stuff.
Girl 1: *pointing* Oh, a scarf! Someone left their scarf! Scarf!
Me: [to Aubrey and Heather, who aren't paying attention] Uh oh, whose scarf is it?
Girl 2: *takes scarf and puts it on*
Me: [jokingly] Oh no, she's got your scarf now! Ha ha, you'll have to pay her for it.
Everyone: *stares at me*
Heather: That's not mine; is it yours?
Aubrey: No, it's not mine.
Girl 1 and 2: [continue to stare]
Me: Ooooh....it's yours.
Which is what happens when Girl 1 and 2 have some sort of conversation after the initial confusion that they don't share with you. You accuse them of trying to blackmail your friends.
