*Picture Julie, Ben, and myself sitting at Bubba Gumps trying to find something on the menu (for Julie) that is not spicy*
Turns out, Norwegians do not eat much spicy food. Even our "mild" tastes spicy to Julie. Note to self: Americans are spicy.
Ben: Points (discretely) to the man sitting in the booth behind Julie and tells her that maybe she would like something like the shrimp meal that the man is eating.
Julie: Turns around to see, and is a little uncertain because it looks so different than Norwegian shrimp. Asks me if she could ask if they think it's good.
Me: Assumes she means ask the waitress and gives a hearty head nod that of course she can ask.
Julie: Turns around and taps the man's shoulder in the booth behind her.
Me: Realizes Julie meant "ask the man" not "the waitress" Oops.
The man in the booth sitting with his 3 kids and wife: Answers yes, then asks her if she wants TO TRY ONE!
Ben & me: Sit with mouths open because there is no stopping the scenario now...
Waitress: Comes by and mouth drops open because she's never seen someone share their food with a total stranger. I mean really...Ben and I barely share our shrimp with one another, it's a high commodity around these parts.
Julie: Tries it, but then finds out it's the Cajun shrimp. Yeah...spicy.
Moral of the story: Americans are nice and might even share their food....and we are spicy.
The End.
