Sucking Lemons

Yeah, that’s definitely what she said.

So, I was eating an orange, and naturally that reminded me of a lemon. If you wish to know how exactly, I advise you stop wishing that immediately. It’s for your own benefit. Trust me (I know, I know, that’s a lot to ask.)

Well, thinking about this lemony-ness, I was reminded of an incident that took place a few years back. I had been at a restaurant with my family, which was, of course, unfortunate for them. Why unfortunate, you may ask? Then you have never eaten at a restaurant with me. Invariably, I end up spilling someone’s drink, knocking over the waiter/waitress, accidentally walking into the kitchen because I thought it was the bathroom and tripping over something and thus  murdering the chef, or all three. After all, there are 7 different ways for these things to happen (1 + 3C2 + 3) (if that meant nothing to you, you’re not a math nerd.)

In any case, the waiter had just delivered the drinks, and added some lemon slices, too, for the water. I picked up one such lemon slice and squeezed the juice into the water (without knocking over the cup, I might add.) As I did so, I wondered what lemons tasted like if you sucked them.

I tried it.

It was a few moments after I tried it that I knocked over someone’s coke.

And now, I ask you: have you ever tried sucking a lemon?
