1 more reason to smile... or is it?

Been meaning to post these pictures for a while =)



This is a peace-offering from Shortstop who have used my Cranium (the board game, not the body part) more often than I have, and have discovered that the play-dough is mouldy O_o Also, read that little note there that says "Life can be sugary sweet... but at times it can also get chili hot!" ? A story of deception lies behind the kind words...

One fine day, as we sat through a seminar on the DaVinci Code and how many of the theories are pure fabrication, people started to pass sweets around to keep ourselves awake. So little Shortstop here passed me a little red candy, telling my friends that it's specifically for me (and they could take any other candy, BUT that red one). Unsuspecting me took it gratefully and popped it into my mouth.

When the flavour finally registered with my brain, I couldn't reconcile it. It was flaming hot!! But candy should be sweet, no? Something doesn't add up here.. Candy = sweet. This candy = VERY HOT. At this point, Shortstop was red in her face trying not to laugh (we WERE in the middle of a seminar!), and I was red in the face because MY MOUTH WAS BURNING UP!! Ptui!! spat it out and went to the washroom to rinse out my mouth which was still BURNING. (cue in Smeagol: eeet burrrnnssss.... eeeet burrrrnnnsssss!!)

Life lesson here? Beware of the Shortstops in your life, or they may just pull a fast one on you. (grrrr.)
