The Parable of the Carmel Apple Shake

This weekend I was at the farmers market because I am all into markets with farmers.

Meaning that I was busy getting myself some expensive fresh bread, some expensive fresh salsa, and some cheap potatoes.

After the buying of the fruit tarts and rasberry confections I wandered around a bit, took my fresh foods and started my trek back to the bachelor apartment.

Somewhere along the way I decided I wanted a health shake so I stopped at the local smoothie place.

After a few minutes of standing at the counter looking for what delicious blend of sherbert, fruits, and powdery goodness I wanted to consume, a cute girl I know comes out and asks me what I want.

Me: *hemin and hawin*

Her: “This over here is good”

Me: *notices a carmel apple shake poster on the wall*

Me: “That looks nasty” *makes gagging noises*

Her: “Oh, its really good, if you like carmel”

Me: “It really looks nasty! Who’d want those two things together”

Her: “Oh no, I really like it”

Me: “Really?”

Her: “Yes, it’s really good”

Me: “Well OK..”

Her: “But you probably want more of a breakfast smoothie”

Me: “Ok. What do you recommend”

Her: “X Smoothie”

And I buy X Smoothie, drink it and walk out the door before I realize

I almost BOUGHT a shake that I was pretty sure was NASTY because a cute girl was telling me she liked it.

All the sudden I realized that poor Adam probably didn’t have a chance… :)
