Conversation before getting a massage. Except there was more laughing.
Friend: “Wasn’t that tilapia the other night amazing?”
Me: “Oh, man! I couldn’t stop eating it.”
Friend: “I don’t know what they do to it. It’s like crack!”
Me: “Oh, I know what it is. It’s that damned brown butter. You could put that stuff on toe, and I’d be chowing down on it.”
Friend: “Did you just say ‘toe?'”
Me: “Yeah, I’d be all <nom-nom-nom>, and you’d be like, ‘What’s that?’ and I’d say, ‘Toe.’ and you’d go, ‘Ew!’ and I’d say, ‘Smothered in brown butter.’ and you’d go, ‘Can I have some?’ and I’d share my brown-butter toe with you. Because you’re my friend. And I love you.”
Friend: <pause> “Where do you go…y’know…when that happens?”
Me: <thinking> “Not sure. But it’s not as far as you might think.”
