Makes Me American Cry
(My friend and I are both fourteen-year-old girls. We both come from very strict families, and so we’re both sheltered and pretty naive for our age. We’re walking to the bus stop together.)
Me: “So what did you do on the weekend?”
Friend: “Went to the movies with my family.”
Me: “Oh, yeah, what did you see?”
Friend: “…American Pie.”
Me: “Oh, I’ve heard that was good! Was it?”
(My friend gets all silent and stares at the ground for a while. I’m guessing that she didn’t think that it was good, even though I heard it was funny. Finally she speaks.)
Friend: *haunted voice* “…He was f***ing a pie.”
Me: “Huh?!” *completely confused*
Friend: “Don’t watch it.” *walks away*
(It wasn’t until years later I watched it and realized what she was talking about!)
