Suffering From A Reptile Dysfunction, Part 2

(I was getting my best friend some candy at a grocery store to cheer her up, when I am approached by a lady who is at a sample station with dog treats.)

Customer: “Do happen to have a dog at home?”

Me: “Actually, I don’t. We only have a bunch of reptiles.”

Customer: “Reptiles, huh. When I was out this state, we caught large iguanas about this big—” *stretches out arms, maybe four feet* “—from the jungle and ate them.”

Me: “Iguanas can get very large.”

Customer: “It was delicious, but I don’t recommend eating your pets.”

Me: “No, that would be pretty messed up.”

(Luckily some people walked up to her table and she went to help. I wasn’t sure how to react to someone telling me they enjoy eating the pets I love.)
