A long time ago I dated a man who provoked me to say, "I don't need you to embarrass me. I can do well enough on my own."
Our family is having dinner at my brother's house on Easter, in the thumb of Michigan. I asked last weekend, while at another nephew's birthday party, what my sister-in-law wanted me to bring. She said dessert. I asked if she wanted anything else, she said no.
Yesterday I confirmed to her by email that my darling daughter would not be able to attend due to work, as I had expected. She responded and asked if I could make my macaroni salad also, since I make the best in the world. I said sure.
That meant a grocery store trip because I was lacking one ingredient. I had hoped to avoid the grocery stores this weekend, but it wasn't to be. Since I was going out to dinner last night, I decided to go after dinner for the item to avoid crowds.
The store was fairly empty, but busy enough for my prophetic words to bite me in the bum. I didn't think anything of it. I grabbed the seedless cucumber and headed for the checkout line, noticing smirks on some shoppers' faces.
I guess it has some silly double meaning when a single lady buys a large seedless cucumber, and nothing else, late on a Friday night. Who knew?

Ha ha ah. Dirty minds are so entertaining!
Suz, that would explain why yours is the best. It's not about the salad. It's about MAKING the salad.
LMAO.....OMG....that is the funniest thing I have heard or read all weekend.
You are too much, thank you for sharing, although I know you were embarassed.

"Lady, are you happy to see me . . . or is that a cucumber in your hand!?!"
Is the choice of SEEDLESS cucumber some twisted sort of nod toward birth control?
Now that is just too precious!! Only you...lol

You're brave! I would have gotten some batteries or something just so it didn't look too weird. --Albert
