Conversations over dinner you never think you'll have

"Lindsy, you can have the last shrimp."
"No thanks, I just had this whole bowl of jellyfish."
Me: serious.

"Lindsy...fish eyeballs!"
(My Korean friend over dinner.)
"No thanks, you can have them!"
"No, Lindsy, I eat one and you eat one!"
(I mull this over...I'll eat one if she does...)
"Lindsy, joke...joke! Don't eat fish eyeballs!"
Me: relieved.

"This octopus is stuck to my chopstick with its suckers!"
"Nay, (yes) it's still alive."
"Will it stick to my tongue?
"Bite carefully."
"Chew?"
"Nay, chew carefully, it can stick inside your throat!"
Me: shocked.



By the way, live, wriggling octopus dipped in hot sauce is absolutely delicious. Another sentence I never thought I would say.
