Mental Mental Conditioning

(I’m mixing together a deep conditioner for my hair. I use vanilla-scented body lotion in it, so it smells of vanilla. My mom’s boyfriend is watching TV in the same room.)

Mom’s Boyfriend: “That stuff smells like vanilla pudding.”

Me: “Yup.”

Mom’s Boyfriend: “I wonder if it tastes like that.”

Me: “I have no idea… Know what? I’ll try.”

(I dip my finger into the bowl and lick it.)

Me: “You’ll never believe me, but it tastes like lemon. I wonder why?”

Mom’s Boyfriend: “Really? Let me try!”

(He does the same as I did.)

Mom’s Boyfriend: “Lemon. That’s weird.”

(My mother enters the room.)

Mom: “What are you doing?”

Me: “Taste testing my conditioner. You wanna try, too?”

(She didn’t try.)
