I suddenly understand how the people feel after a conversation with me when I have had too much tea. This sudden understanding was brought to me by an conversation I just had with my father.
Dad: I just got a dozen avocados from a friend, the heat wave had them drop. They are tasty.
Me: I like avocados, but I don’t like them warm.
Dad: Why would you do that to an avocado?
Me: I don’t, but they make avocado egg rolls and they are terrible.
Dad: I think Del Taco puts it in their burrito.
Me: That is not quite the same thing.
Dad: It is a warm avocado. Besides you are only eating it for the hot sauce.
Me: We don’t have Del Taco out here.
Dad: You are missing out on the taco sauce. They give you like, eight packets at a time and you might only use four or five. I think it would only take a month to save up the extra packets and I can send you a box.
Me: Please don’t. That is crazy old man talk.
Dad: But it is good sauce, and you might like it if you try it. Don’t you like hot sauce?
Me: ....Yes, I like hot sauce, but don’t collect Del Taco hot sauce packets and send them to me.
Dad: .....but....it won’t take that long....
