sheldon : how do you even get by?
penny : i'm cute! *nonchalance*
in case you are wondering, these lines are from a popular tv series 'The Big Bang Theory', and Sheldon and Penny happen to be two of the main characters around whom the entire series is built on. Sheldon is the complete compulsive geek who necessarily requires everthing to be done and executed as per the convention prescribed, both by him and others. whereas, Penny is the more normal, social and out going person. blonde. oh and extremely pretty too.
cutting back to real time scenario.
pertaining to a birthday cake order in a very classy, upscale and uptight cake shop. the standard and the minimum order size regarding cakes being 1 kg. i did ask them before placing my order. they said they can make whichever size i want.
i end up ordering a very delectable cake. a chocolate variant but a different kind.. not a cheesecake either, but almost like one.. the name suggested a hint of a lime variant, but the taste was purely a chocolatey bliss.. oh, and did i mention? it was the dark chocolate variant. and the cake had a uniform covering of cocoa powder all over.. that's the one i ordered, for, a brown never looked so pretty ever!
and well, put my requisition for a size which i figured would be the best for the ones eating i at the end.
24 hours later, i went to collect my order of the delectable cake, in that very classy, upscale and uptight cake shop.. they already had my order.. custom made.. and that's when they tell me!
"your cake is ready madam. do you like it?"
"oh yes. it looks beautiful."
" we don't make cakes this size. our minimum order size is 1 kg. but we made it for you."
"oh really? you should have told me yesterday itself. thank you so much!"
carrying the box as i enter, i was greeted by surprise looks.. of the happy kind.
and as i recount the story, i'm greeted by more surprise looks. this time, of the astonished and shocked kind.
him : 'did they not give you?'
me : 'of course they did. i get by, i'm cute!'
him : *smirk* damn right you are!
so, yes. i get by. i guess i'm cute.
p.s. i'm not blonde!
