“… nasty spicy olives and then a cousin who doesn’t know how to let an unwanted event go.”

Have I ever accidentally eaten something that I shouldn’t have? Um. When I was a kid, oh my God, so when I was a kid — so I love on like olives and pickles. So when I was a kid, I had gone to this like graduation party for a cousin, and it was kind of like a ritzier branch of the family, and they had these like giant olives and I was like, “Oh my God, like, giant olives, I’ve never had that before,” and I was thinking it was just like regular olives, but like big. I didn’t realize it was like — like spicy or I don’t know if it was like peppers stuffed inside. I don’t know what, but, you know, I took a big bite, and I just had this like sour like, puckered like, maybe even like teary eyed like face. It was just like so spicy and hot, and I was like — and, you know, one of my cousins was like sitting across from me, and I rarely ever see her. And I was just so embarrassed, and plus she was like really pretty, she’s always been really pretty, and I’m just really embarrassed, and now like whenever she sees me at like — and this is rare, like at a funeral or something like that or get together, which is like rare, like years in between. She’s always like, “Careful with those olives!” and I’m like, “Oh…” And it’s like, ugh, so yeah, nasty spicy olives and then a cousin who doesn’t know how to let an unwanted event go.
