Today my girlfriend asked me about the sex ingredients in ka ka pie. Intriguing.
It turned out she was saying something different: six ingredients and cacao pie. Disappointed, I put my pants back on. Sure, in hindsight it's obvious what she meant, but in the moment it was an exciting new direction for our relationship.
Man that's funny. I showed the above paragraph to my girlfriend. She said, "You know, you really need to cater to a whiter audience."
I was horrified. Who is this woman? I hadn't seen this side of her until today. Oh... wider audience.
I'd blame her, but it's possible I have some role in this communication breakdown. On the other hand I can't blame myself, since she's the one saying these crazy things that turn out to be something else.
Time to pretend this is a lesson on the larger problem of people misunderstanding each other.
