and it was really good and i kinda wanna see it again

i liked it a lot more than the hunger games or divergent or the giver

but afterwards we got a smoothie at that tank juice bar thing (we were in reading)

and this cute guy comes up next to me and asks me how to pronounce "acai"

and i'm like oh shit how do i answer this i don't know

so i'm like "moTHER HEY how do you pronounce acai"

and basically i floundered and looked like an idiot and then THIS DUDE

HE ASKS WHAT I'M DOING THERE

and like ...shit he's hitting on me

no no he's not hitting on you just answer the damn question

"seeing a movie with my mother" i say out loud, while inside i'm like it was the maze runner it was really good you should see it

but then he's like "i'm here for the football. rugby" and i'm like okay

and i hide behind my mother for a while (i later find out she put herself between us so it was a joint effort) then we get our drinks and i'm full of adrenalline and FOR SOME REASON i LEAN BACK AND ASK HIM

"DID YOU FIND OUT HOW TO SAY ACAI"

and he's like nah

and i'm like okay

and i'm like am i meant to get his number or something. i'd be a terrible girlfriend i don't like people i don't even talk to people i don't leave the house nobody should date me, and on that note i don't want

to date anyone, what would i do with his number if i had it, he probably wasn't hitting on me anyway, let's walk away, walking walking, here mother share my drink

and then we get to the car and we go pick up my sister

and mother is telling her what we did and she says "there was this guy hitting on almaas"

OKAY COOL SO I WASN'T IMAGINING IT

THAT WORRIES ME A LITTLE BIT

a) i don't want to be hit on, it was fun and i felt stupid, c) what

b ) *

but hey at least i know enough about human behaviour to know that when someone asks a stranger how to pronounce the drink they're about to order they're probably hitting on them

I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER BEEN HIT ON BEFORE.

also people often think me and my mother are a gay couple which is why i specify 'mother' when speaking about her

we went to a wedding last year and the maid of honour was like "so when did you two meet" and my mother was like "uhhhh at birth?"

i think i look old and tired and my mother looks bizarrely youthful

so long as i don't get any sicker i'm hoping the genetics mean good things for me and i'll still look 25 when i'm 50 like she does

anyway yes

the end
