A Real Convo

“Hi, can I get a milkshake?”

“Sure. What kind?”

“What types are there?”

She motioned to a board around the corner without turning her head. “All those flavors.”

I didn’t bother looking. “Chocolate?”

“Okay. Do you want yogurt or ice cream?”

After pausing briefly: “What’s the difference?”

“Well, one is fat, the other is non-fat,” she explained, using helpful hand gestures.

“Oh. I’ll take the fat. Because I don’t know about you, but when I’m drinking a milkshake, I want to taste the fat.”

She laughed as if I were kidding.
