My mother, this morning, is getting ready to leave for work. And she opens up the refrigerator to look for a piece of fruit to eat or take to work or something.
“Darn it,” she says, “there’s no good fruit.”
Not one to miss a beat, I chime in. “Sorry, I’m only halfway there.”
She walks over to where her work lunch is and says “I really don’t think you are.”
I pause to think. “I really don’t think you are.” Right. The first person I came out to (before any of you, before any of my school friends). Doesn’t. Think. I’m. Really. Bisexual.
“I really am, though. If you don’t believe me, ask my friends Marty and Chris,” I say, laughing at her disbelief of my sexuality. What, you gonna tell me I have short red hair, too?
“Oh, no, I meant I didn’t think you were sorry there’s no good fruit in the house.”
“Oh. Well, I’m not, so there you go.”
That could have been most interesting. As it is, it’s just the definition of Mundane and Pointless:)
