So this is about the Absentminded Professor Carlos AKA The
Chocoholic and how he makes me laugh.
See, the other night he asked if I wanted some hot chocolate
and I said sure. So he sets about making it but then calls me to the kitchen
because he says we’re out of chocolate. I say we can’t be out because there’s
an unopened box in the cupboard and another box with a little bit of
chocolate left inside.
“I only have the one with very little chocolate.”
“Well, the full box was under the open box the other
day.”
“All I have is the open box.”
So I go into the kitchen and look up on the shelf where the
cocoa powder goes and there’s none there. And then Carlos holds up the open box
and says:
“This is all we have.”
“Yesterday there was an unopened box and an open box on that
same shelf. Are you sure you didn’t use–”
And my eyes drop down to the counter where a pristine unopened
box of cocoa powder sits, waiting to be used in hot chocolate and I point it
out to him.
“You’re gonna write about this on your blog, right?”
“No, sweetie pie, I would never—”
Let’s keep this our secret. |
