Steve, my new boyfriend, decided to cook
dinner
for me. I was really excited, that is,
until
I tried his cooking.
Steve: What do you think of the soup?
I thought: This is so bland, and
what are
these little lumpy things in the
soup? Of
course I didn’t say that aloud.
Elaine: It’s delicious. It has a very
interesting flavor.
When Steve served the main course, a baked
chicken, he asked,
Steve: What do you think of the chicken? Is it
too
salty or spicy?
I thought: Yes! It’s too salty and it’s so spicy I
can
hardly eat it without breathing fire. The
outside of
the chicken is overcooked and the
inside
is raw! But out loud, I said,
Elaine: No, not at all! It has an interesting
texture and I’m enjoying every
bite.
I thought: Oh, no. Is there more? Steve went
into
the kitchen and brought dessert.
Steve: What do you think of this cake?
I thought: This cake should be
sweet,
but it has a strange sour taste.
Could
there be something seriously wrong with
Steve’s
taste buds? But aloud, I said,
Elaine: It’s yummy. It’s the best
cake
that anyone has ever made for me.
And it was true. I didn’t care how bad the
meal
was. It’s the thought that counts.
