THIS HAPPENED TODAY AND I'D LOVE TO KNOW YOUR OPINION.
WENT INTO DUNKIN' DONUTS TO GET AN ICED COFFEE. I HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING ICED COFFEE AT PLACES LIKE THIS, McDONALD'S AS WELL, WHEN IT COMES TO ANSWERING THE QUESTION, DO YOU WANT CREAM IN THAT?
YES, I LIKE CREAM, SOME CREAM, NOT TOO MUCH CREAM. THESE FAST FOOD JOINTS LOVE TO MAKE THE COFFEE 1/2 COFFEE, 1/2 CREAM. BLECHH.
IT'S ALWAYS A PROBLEM TRYING TO DESCRIBE WHAT I WANT.
TODAY AS I ORDERED MY COFFEE AND THE CLERK ASKED ME THE CREAM QUESTION, IN THAT SPLIT SECOND I DECIDED I WAS GOING TO SAY,
"I LIKE THE COFFEE THE COLOR OF BEYONCE."
BUT THERE WAS A YOUNG GUY (A LOVELY SHADE OF MOCHA) ALSO BEHIND THE COUNTER JUST STANDING THERE. IN THE NEXT SPLIT SECOND I SAID,
"I LIKE MY COFFEE THE COLOR OF HIM."
WELL, THINGS TURNED QUITE FROSTY. I BEGAN TALKING NON-STOP, APOLOGIZING, SAYING I MEANT NOTHING DEMEANING ABOUT MY REMARK. ULTIMATELY, THIS YOUNG GUY JUST SAID TO ME THAT IT WAS A WEIRD THING TO SAY.
I DON'T DISAGREE. BUT I DON'T THINK IT WAS RACIST. WAS IT?
I'M GOING TO VISIT MY LOCAL BENJAMIN MOORE STORE,
GET SOME COLOR SWATCHES & KEEP THOSE IN MY WALLET.
OH NO! I WAS JUST GOING TO POP OVER TO PEENEE'S BLOG TO SNATCH A PHOTO OF ONE OF HIS MOCHA BEAUTIES & PEENEE'S BLOG IS GONE!!
WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TOO???
