Adventures in Salad Eating
Ever accidentally bite yourself? Everyone has. We put regular ouchies on our tongues and inner cheek linings. But how about chomping down on your own finger? Ever do that? Maybe you have, like when you were eating that hot dog that time, or some other finger food. But have you ever chomped down on your own finger while eating a salad? No? Well let me tell you about it!
So I’m eating dinner at home with my sweety, watching TV as usual. I’m eating the salad portion of my dinner when a leaf falls off my fork onto the table. So I pick it up and pop it into my mouth. I bite down onto the leaf and OWWWWW HOLY SHIT ON A STICK IT HURTS!!! Apparently I had misjudged the distance of my finger from my teeth and not removed it fast enough. I had bitten down with the same intensity meant for normal food.
My noisy yelp and colorful cursing afterwards startled my sweety, who looked over at me in alarm and said, “What the hell?” She saw me holding my finger and started laughing. I didn’t have to say a word, she figured it out. What can I say, I’m entertaining even when I don’t mean to be.
My finger is sore. And slightly swollen. Ouch. I hate this nine-fingered typing.
