For some reason, I remembered a funny story this morning, and I thought I’d share it…

Sophomore year in high school, I went out with a Senior named Mike. He was really nice, really rich, and he was a soccer player. Not that that matters to the story, but it’s some background. I went to his house to have dinner with his family for the first time, and it was a feast. We passed around the dishes. I was into the potatoes, the steak, everything, but there was a salad that I passed on. Mike’s mom handed the salad back to me and said, “Wouldn’t you like some salad?”

I smiled awkardly, and Mike replied for me. “She doesn’t like anything green.” They seemed shocked to think that a 16-year-old could be stuck in the toddler-esque refusal to eat her vegetables.

“You don’t like any green food?”

I thought. “Well, I like mint chocolate chip ice cream.”

p.s. For the record, I love vegetables now. Salads make me feel great, asparagus is one of my favorite foods, and peppers make everything delicious… (But Adam, I still won’t eat your seaweed.)
