Week 12 theme

We were out to eat at Kosta's for lunch just laughing and talking, catching up on the little things. We were discussing our plans for the rest of the day and how we were going to spend it.

"I really want to go ice skating!" Kelsey said.

"Oh my gosh, I do too! It's been so long since I've gone!" I replied.

"I can't believe it's time for that already! and the fact that it's almost Christmas, holy crap!"

"Speaking of Christmas, we should go across the street and do a little gift shopping after we eat!"

"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Where would you want to go?"

"Well, Mard--..."

Just as I was about to tell her where I wanted to go Christmas shopping I was interrupted by our waitress. We had already ordered and finished our food so we assumed she was just coming over to give us the check.

She asks out quite loudly, "Would you folks like any divorce?!" *Pause* "... Ah I mean dessert!"

"Divorce?! No thank you." My friend chimes in and calls her out on her mistake.

Kelsey and I just stared at each other in confusion. It was one of those "Did that really just happen?" kind of moments. After a few seconds of recuperation, we told the waitress we would just like our check and no dessert. She started back towards the kitchen. As she walked away Kelsey and I changed from blank expressions to laughing and giggling out loud. It wasn't that we were making fun of her exactly, we were laughing "with her" not a her. It was just that dessert and divorce really don't sound that much alike and it was slightly funny that divorce was on her mind. The situation was awkward especially because there was other people around that heard what she had said. We just had to laugh because it made it less uncomfortable.
