i'd like some tomatoes with my salsa

a weird conversation



i keep laughing thinking about this well sort of...


last week i had been busily working at school for like 4 hours taking my room down for the summer and sheri was with me helping me do it all and we were both really tired.

we decided to call in and pick up our fave mexican food on our way home since it was getting late and were HUNGRY ! good plan....



so we do that and go in to get it and i pay and sheri goes over to get salsa from the fresh salsa bar- hands down one of the best parts... and it's umm empty.. and so she asks about it and they were like oh yeah we're out of tomatoes today kinda like no biggie um at all....

... a girl working sees that sheri has a purple sharpie clipped on her shirt that she had been using from my classroom and the girl lights up and wants to know if she can borrow it... to um make a sign... for the salsa bar

she's so excited about the sharpie.. and i'm like um so are there no tomatoes on the food either.. or in my salad or um... yeah couldn't they have told us when we ordered... the girl was so excited about the purple sharpie...

*this was like the day of the tomoato thing making the news with the whole outbreak.. and so she's like kind of a um off handed remark like oh well i guess there was some sort of recall or something today did you hear about it? like maybe that's why they don't have any salsa or tomoatoes... a minute later... a guy walks by me.... and says

"When is our shipment coming in?" and i'm thinking huh.. i'm just bummed that my food is gonna be well not what i was so hungry for...

and he says yeah the shipment of tomatoes.... okay thank you very much! i don't think it even had anything to do with that but who knows.... just um weird glad someone can get so happy about a sharpie! now i'll take some pico de gallo please and that does take tomatoes :)
