No Thank you

"The kid" does not like pineapple!!

Last month, I needed a snack while at work and remembered that I had some fresh pineapple in refigerator. I was about 3/4 finished eating the pineapple when my stomach started feeling...different. A coworker was in my office and I told her, "I don't think the kid likes pineapple."

Several weeks later my stomach didn't feel so good shortly after getting to work. I thought perhaps I just needed to use the restroom, but when that didn't work, I just worked through the uncomfortableness. Later that afternoon, that same coworker was in my office and I mentioned to her that my stomach was hurting and all I had was an Eggo and fruit salad that morning. She immediately said, "You didn't eat pineapple did you?" I looked at her with the strangest look thinking "What's so bad about pineapple and how would you know you've never been pregnant?" So I finally answered her question and said "Yeah, why?", remembering that the fruit salad had pineapples, strawberries, peaches, etc. She said, "You said the kid doesn't like pineapple." I immediately responded "Oh My Goodness, you're right." I was so happy at that moment, I could have fallen out of my chair. Just to know why my stomach was feeling uncomfortable. I thought it was crazy that someone else had to remind me what "the kid" didn't like, but hey she was the only one that was around when it first happened so she was the only one that could remind me of that. Needless to say after that, I called Charles to inform him that "your child doesn't like pineapple" so he could also remind me not to eat it. He simply proclaimed "I doubt it...try it again later." Uhhhh, no thanks brother!

It's a shame that pineapples are everywhere now! Being that this is the only dislike I have discovered for "the kid" it is still a little difficult to remember. I mean even today, I was in the grocery store looking for pineapple orange juice. Thankfully they didn't have it and then I remember..."uhhh might not wanna do that."
