The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree

I was going to write about last night’s highly anticipated and talked about Patriots/Jets game but that will have to wait as I was reminded today of a great story and follow up to yesterday’s post and I just couldn’t let it pass me by.

I’m having dinner tonight with two of my favorites, Jill and Stef.  



2009 MN State Fair - Jill, Flat Annie, myself, Stef



Jill has to drop off little Keegan at home so she’ll be running a little late to our happy hour friend time.    I would hate for her to miss out on the specials so I asked if she had any requests and promised not to do what I did the last time the 3 of us met…what was that you ask?   Well I’ll tell you.

It was last April and we had just found out that our friend Annie (AOD) was not going to beat her battle with cancer.  We felt an incredible sadness that called for a little friend pick-me-up.  We went to Crave in Edina and ordered a few appetizers to share: hummus, flat-bread pizza, eel roll, and edamame.

Picture above: red = red wine, blue = water (J was pregnant with little K at the time), tan = hummus, orange with red dots = pizza, black = sushi, dark green = edamame, light green = person’s edamame shells.

We were chatting and I wanted another edamame.   I reach over to grab some from the light green circle in front of Jill and put it in my mouth.

Have you figured it out yet?

Yep.  That’s right.  Instead of grabbing the soy beans still in the edamame shell, I grabbed one of Jill’s already eaten edamame shells.

Me:  OMG, I tried to eat one of your shells!
Jill: (giggles) I was wondering what you were doing.
Stef:  (giggles) I was seriously concerned.
Me:  Wait, you watched me take one and didn’t stop me??

Much needed laughter ensued.

Seriously.  I mean who does that?   This girl. 

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree folks....
